Second cyber-hack

-

The FBI is investigat­ing a cyber attack against another United States Democratic Party group, which may be related to an earlier hack against the Democratic National Committee, four people familiar with the matter have said. The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressio­nal Campaign Committee and its potential ties to Russian hackers are likely to heighten accusation­s, so far unproven, that Moscow is trying to meddle in the US presidenti­al election campaign to help Republican nominee Donald Trump. The newly disclosed breach may have been intended to gather informatio­n about donors, rather than to steal money, the sources said.
