FBI in agreement with CIA that Russia aimed to help Trump win White House
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-blames-putins-personal-grudge-ag...Russian President Vladimir Putin supervised his intelligence agencies' hacking of the U.S. presidential election and turned it from a general attempt to discredit American democracy to an
effort to help Donald Trump, three U.S. officials said on Thursday.
U.S. intelligence agencies' conclusion that Russia tried to influence the election by hacking people and institutions, including Democratic Party bodies, has angered President-elect Trump
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-cyber-idUSKBN1441RSThe FBI squarely blamed Russian intelligence services on Thursday for meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, releasing the most definitive report yet on the issue, including samples of malicious computer code said to have been used in a broad hacking campaign

The Homeland Security Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement Oct. 7
saying they believed people at the top levels of Russian government directed the attack in an attempt to interfere in the election.
Some private security researchers also believe Russians stole and leaked emails from Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta.

and possibly other states. It is not clear if the perpetrators were directed by the Russian government or if they were private criminals.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
accused two Russian intelligence services (referred to as “RIS” in the report) in the “Grizzly Steppe” report issued on December 29th of hacking into the Democratic National Committee’s digital infrastructure in the summer of 2015, and again in the spring of 2016. For the sake of brevity, the agencies identified the hackers as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) 28 and 29.
The report confirmed that the contents of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s email account were obtained via a tactic known as “spearphishing,” in which a malicious code is sent to thousands of different recipients in the hopes that some of them will click, thereby granting a hacker access to sensitive information contained within an email account.
Both groups have historically targeted government organizations, think tanks, universities, and corporations around the world. APT29 has been observed crafting targeted
