Russian hackers, believed to be working on behalf of the government, have targeted key members of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign according to new research.
A hacker group dubbed Threat Group (TG-4127) has been singled out by SecureWorks’ Counter Threat Unit research team as the source of attacks, designed to redirect Ms Clinton’s campaign employees to a controlled URL that spoofed a legitimate Google login page.
TG-4127 targeted the Hillary for America campaign mail solution and website, which use Google Apps, and targeted 108 email addresses of staff members on the hillaryclinton.com domain in order to gain access to their email accounts.
Researchers said 213 short links were created and 20 of them have been clicked.
Ms Clinton’s national political director, finance director, directors of strategic communications, scheduling, and travel and her travelling press secretary were all targeted. For the full article click here
