On the same day that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump encouraged Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton’s emails, a group of Russian military intelligence officers began launching cyberattacks aimed at computer severs used in her personal office, based on an indictment filed by the Department of Justice. The timing, which was first made apparent through a series of criminal charges disclosed Friday against 12 Russian nationals, reveals the complex and apparently reactionary nature of the now infamous foreign hacking operation. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at a press conference on July 27, 2016. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” “On or about July 27, 2016, the conspirators attempted after-hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office,” the […]

In late 2015, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper famously warned of a future where adversaries will often “change or manipulate electronic information in order to compromise its integrity” rather than simply steal data. Since then, the world has watched the Kremlin carry out Clapper’s prediction, interfering in democratic processes around the world. A new report released Thursday, authored by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, shows how Russia has made Clapper’s prediction a reality.
