The FBI is investigating whether the Russia hackers who gained access to the Democratic National Committee’s computer networks also targeted aides and organizations close to Hillary Clinton.
The New York Times reports that there’s evidence that hackers attempted to gain access to some Clinton associates through “spear-phishing attacks.”
The DNC has said its system was hacked by Russian hackers, which several private cybersecurity firms have confirmed.
Last month, FBI Director James Comey said hackers tried to tap into Clinton’s private e-mail server but were likely unsuccessful.
