According to The New York Times, the hack extended well beyond the DNC, and may have affected hundreds of other Democratic party officials and organizations, including the Democratic Governors Association.
The FBI briefed staff members of the House and Senate intelligence committees last week on the investigation into the email hacks against the DNC in July. The FBI told staff it has no doubt that the Russian government was behind the hack, according to The New York Times, citing an anonymous staff member briefed on the matter.
The FBI said that it has no direct evidence that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s private email server was hacked by the Russians. FBI director James Comey has said previously that hackers have tried to gain access into Clinton’s private server, and that they may have been skilled enough to leave no trace of a successful hack. The FBI also said that there is no evidence at this point that the hack extended to the emails of members of Congress or staff members of the intelligence committees.
According to the Boston Globe, the main targets of the hack appear to have been the private accounts of Clinton campaign officials, Democratic party officials, and Democratic party organizations.
WikiLeaks, the group that released the DNC emails, recently offered a $20,000 reward for information on the death of a DNC staff member, Seth Rich, who was shot to death outside his Washington, D.C., home July 10.

Hold the phone, Joan! Hackers, ‘skilled enough’ to leave no trace of a hack ONE place, but not the others?
*Rolleyes*
We’re So Screwed
Those dirty Russians, exposing the crimes of the DNC and the drive by media! / newspeak
Ready for this one. Someone should go so far as saying it was the Clinton Foundation that hacked all the DNC servers to find out information about Bernie Sanders.
ROFL!!!
NICE!
Perfect!
We got to nip this in the bud !
Pelosi has gone all “Crazy Eyes” over this.
Comet - No evidence server hacked by Russians
Dear Dierector Comey is there any evidence that the server was hacked by someone else?
I don’t believe anything out of the FBI’s mouth these days.
They can go to a non government secured computer, back then leave no trace.
Great for copyright stuff and proprietary knowledge.
You have to be an idiot as a business to have everything connected to the net.
Yet you have not heard one peep about a Republican being hacked.
I’m more convinced than ever that the Mossad is behind this.
Could it be that Hillary’s email server was more crude than the DNC’s so they were able to eliminate any traces?
The Ministry of Propaganda is trying to blame the Russians when it looks like the leaker was the DNC staffer who was murdered.
You don’t have to hack a server when its owner will sell you access. Just a thought.
The ‘Rat newsbabe on CNN is apoplectic and calling it a “cyberattack” as if exposing DNC crookedness is somehow an act of war.
But, there was no intention to hack, just a bit of negligence.
