WASHINGTON (AP) — Two "sophisticated adversaries" linked to Russian intelligence services broke into the Democratic National Committee's computer networks and gained access to confidential emails, chats and opposition research on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, the party and an outside analyst said Tuesday.
The firm CrowdStrike said it was approached by the DNC to investigate a potential breach of its systems, which began as early as last summer. Immediately, CrowdStrike found on the DNC's computer some of the "best adversaries" in the hacking arena tied to the Russian government.
STATE HOUSE — While Sen. Elizabeth Warren may be able to pull left-leaning voters to the polls for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a ticket mate who could provide "balance" and help Clinton win a swing state is more likely, according to former Congressman Marty Meehan.
During a June 9 interview on Boston Herald Radio, Meehan, who served 14 years in Congress and is now president of the University of Massachusetts, said presidential nominees often seek in running mates an ability to help rack up votes in battleground states.
