Russian hackers ‘tried to infect Clinton computer’

-

HACKERS tried to gain access to Hillary Clinton’s emails she sent on a private server while she was Secretary of State.

The hackers, thought to be Russians, sent five emails disguised as New York state parking tickets which could have taken control of her computer if she had opened them. She does not appear to have done so, but critics claimed i t was further evidence that the email system she used was insecure.

Mrs Clinton has come under fire after it emerged she installed a private server at her home in Chappaqua, upstate New York, while in office between 2009 to 2013 instead of using her official account. She has handed it to the FBI which is investigat­ing if she breached laws regarding handling of classified material.
