Hackers affiliated with the Russian military have taken aim at Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company at the center of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, according to the New York Times.
Hacking attempts began in early November against the company on whose board former Vice President Joe Biden’s son sat, The Times reported. At the same time the House was investigating a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.
Security experts told the Times the hackers’ findings, as well as what they were looking for, remain unclear, but the timing indicates they could have been in search of the same sort of potentially embarrassing material on the family Trump sought when he asked Zelensky to launch the investigation.
The hackers were affiliated with the G.R.U. military intelligence unit and used phishing emails to target usernames and passwords in a similar manner to the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee, according to the Times, in this case establishing mockups of Burisma subsidiaries and sending company employees emails designed to look like internal communications.

“: report”
The Hill code for “lie”.
crowdstrike. let’s learn more about that.
KGB infiltrated Hollywood, academia, state department, protest movements etc and NOW we are supposed to suddenly think that Russia could be a threat???
I believe the NYT publicly claimed it was not objective but was an anti-Trump activist paper. I believe also that the unnamed “security experts” are Crowdstrike.
This is just propaganda trying to cover for Biden and hurt Trump.
Here we go again. Russia, Russia, Russia.
You know, I’d really like to know exactly what and who are the think tank or control nexus behind entirety of the Russia did it hoax? Is it in government or outside? Is it Soros linked? Some clique entity is behind this, global warming, social justice warriors and the rest of the Agenda 21 enchilada. ?We really need to get some names. Who is their brain trust?
Someone should report this to Snopes except they would probably confirm it as true given their bias.
It's become impossible to unravel who's doing what and for what reason.
Russian can actually try to hack anyone but for what reason?
To hack for information or just to spook people and send them off chasing squirrels?
It's turning into the Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street".
Chaos and paranoia. What is real and what is disinformation?
There's so much misinformation and disinformation it's becoming impossible to separate the truth from lies and who is lying and who is telling the truth and their motives.
The result is confusion and paranoia.
Like I said, all Russia has to do (or someone pretending to be Russia) is launch a hacking attack and the world is thrown into chaos sending people chasing rabbits down rabbit holes.
Russia presents no tangible threat to the U.S. We need to focus our Nation’s attention on foreign entities like NYC, Yemen, CA, CT, Mecca, MD, Mexico, MA, VT, Iran, OR, WA, NK, China, Dearborn, Indonesia, and Pakistan...
Most of our most-dangerous enemies are already inside the wire... Either through invasion, immigration, propaganda/education, illegal citizenship resulting from convenience birth, or through conversion of former U.S. states through elections of enemy politicians...
Exactly.
This is being done by people to keep the Russian 'collusion' narrative alive and that Russia is interfering in US politics.
They're setting the narrative when Trump wins in 2020 so they can blaming Russia, again.
So the Russians are planting evidence against Choir Boy Hunter Biden?
More likely, this is a preemptive strike to taint what Rudy has come up with. (’cause Russians)
Yep, and they wrote Hillary’s emails too.
