The targeted cyber-attack on French TV company TV5Monde in April may have been the work of state-backed Russian hackers and not a pro-ISIS group, as originally thought. The hack forced several channels off the air.

French magazine L’Express yesterday claimed that local investigators have linked the attacks to a group thought to operate with the Kremlin’s blessing, dubbed APT28, ‘Sednit’ and ‘Pawn Storm’.

The Kremlin’s Troll Army: Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters:

A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”
