Hackers thought to be working for Russian intelligence have carried out a series of cyber breaches targeting reporters at the New York Times and other US news organizations, according to US officials briefed on the matter.
The intrusions, detected in recent months, are under investigation by the FBI and other US security agencies. Investigators so far believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks and that Russian hackers are targeting news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations, the officials said.

DNCC...NYT...at this point, what difference does it make?
This just keeps getting better and better.
Stalin was suspicious of everyone, including Stalinists like Duranty.
There is nothing the Russians could tell us what we do not know about the scumbag media and even if it were new news then the media here would never report it.
Interestingly, speaking of emails...
Anyone hear Rush changed his email addy this week?
Hmmm, would be a shame if wiki leaked emails of his from GOP-E types or the Cheap Labor Express with his broadcast marching orders.
No doubt The New York Times has much information that it declines to publish which might be very valuable to the Russians. Moreover, that information might prove valuable to the Russians with which to blackmail the (Democrat) politician that the New York Times is protecting or the New York Times itself.
I support and applaud any action that will destroy the evil New York Times.
Because NOBODY wants the Clintons in power. Seriously - Who in their right mind would want a blatantly criminal enterprise running a competing superpower?
Cynical speculation:
It’s more complicated than that. Russia is no longer communist. It’s Oligarchist/Imperial. Or at least imperial wannabe. Ivan perceives its sphere of influence and interests to include several nations and clients, including Syria and Iran (who happen to have been allied together for a long time.)
On the other hand, you have O & H. They are normally bought and paid for by the house of Saud, as have been others before them. (See the famous ‘bow’ picture.)
They have committed the cardinal sin of politicians, which is: they didn’t stay bought.
Instead, they destabilized the region, including Egypt (former Soviet client), Libya (former Soviet client), and Syria (current Soviet client). Also, thanks to the influence of VJ, they are attempting to cozy up to Iran and replace or at least displace Russia as their benefactor.
Ivan is not happy about this, really about any of these as they are direct or indirect attacks on their sphere of influence. The Syria mess, especially is (perhaps) a direct attack on their energy (natural gas) monopoly to Europe. Hence, Ivan is very upset.
Thus, H, while nominally a communist, and probably still one, is a serious threat as her actions, and O’s have had a significant negative effect on Ivan’s policies and plans. Ivan would rather get them both out of the way and replace them with someone with whom they can practice the ‘art of the deal’.
This doesn’t mean DT is bought and paid for either, but rather that he is perceived as the least harmful option, as he is not overtly hostile.
They probably have hacked the RNC, etc. too, but ... that’s not where the action is.
Or maybe I’ve read too much Tom Clancy. Could be.
CNN, a full-time soldier in:
OPERATION SAVE HILLARY
Isn’t that the truth!!!!!!!!
Awe, the FBI trying to help the State Newspaper, I mean the DNC Times, I mean the New York Times, I mean a PRIVATE COMPANY.
Because they're Muslims and fascists.
Comey and friends have so degraded the image of the FBI that whenever anything is reported regarding its activities countless people the world over simply look upon it as a joke.
MSNBC tops CNN for third straight week in August

Just more red baiting and conspiracy nonsense from the establishment media.
They’ve spent 65 years denying there was Soviet infiltration into Hollywood, the State Department, journalism, so-called civil rights organizations, and academia and NOW I am supposed to fear the Russians?
FUNYT
Exactly.
Why would the Russians waste their time hacking these accounts.
