The New York Times reported on Monday that hackers from the Russian military intelligence unit known as the GRU succeeded in hacking Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that Hunter Biden sat on the board of, and that Joe Biden protected from investigation by withholding $1 billion in aid unless Ukrainian officials fired the prosecutor investigating the company.
GRU is responsible for other high-profile hacks of the DNC and John Podesta. Seven GRU officers were indicted in 2018 for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 election.
The hacking attempts against Burisma began in early November, as the Democrats' impeachment efforts increased the profile of the company and Biden's conflict of interests.
It is not yet known what the hackers found or what they were looking for. The New York Times says that "experts say the timing and scale of the attacks suggest that the Russians could be searching for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens."
The GRU hackers succeeded in attacking the company through a phishing scam that sent their employees to bogus login pages, from which the employees' login credentials could be obtained.
So what does this mean? Scott Rosenburg of Axios believes that awareness of the hacks "cuts both ways politically." There are huge negative implications for Joe Biden and his presidential campaign, since "it means document dumps could happen at any time, with accompanying media frenzy and potentially damaging revelations." Many on the left still believedespite all evidence to the contrarythat Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, so Russian involvement with the hacks "means that any such revelations will come pre-tainted with a Russian label," according to Rosenburg.

In other words, the NYT knows that Burisma has dirt on the Biden’s and the NYT is trying to taint any release of that dirt with “Russian hacking to interfere with our election.”
The NYT is a joke.
Might be a modified limited hangout.
What source does the NYT gave them the information that Russian Military Intelligence had breached Burisma’s computer systems?
Did the CIA, FBI, or DNC (or Lawfare operatives working for all 3) plant the story? It’s so obvious that one of them did. Hey, NYT, we’re onto your game.
Is the NYT unaware that Russian and Ukraine have been in an unending feud about energy supplies and payments since the breakup of the USSR? Russia would have a great deal of interest in Burisma secrets beyond US politics. They might enjoy collecting evidence of Biden crimes (wouldn’t they love for Joe Biden to become President while they had the goods on him), but Russia has probably been spying on Burisma before Hunter met his first crack pipe.
“...Many on the left still believe...”

I say B.S. on any such assertion.
Even anyone living in the back waters of the deep South swamps with access to the internet knew full well that all the ‘Trump is a Russian asset’ crap was made up stuff, sold to unwitting and unskeptical low information voters by the professional Democrats and their compliant MSM.
Certainly, the entire leftist crowd were in on the joke from day one.
Then, on the other hand, maybe Joseph Goebbels actually believed all those nice Jews were being sent off on lovely vacations to some wonderful resort, and he never got the memo. /s
They need to nominate Humper Biden as honorary Nigerian Prince! He’s earned that, plus a pulitter prize.
It’s obvious President Trump called his very good friend Vladimir Putin and asked him to help with his re-election,Nancy Pelosi and Adam Shiff said
BS. This is the Deep States excuse for the truth about Biden coming out. Those darn Russians. More then likely they were Ukranians who Biden stole money from.
Maybe it was the work of Macedonian content farmers.
And now we know why yesterday they said it was Russia that did it, but I’m going to wait and make sure crowd strike confirms it first
The New York Times says the Russians did it. I wonder if the Hallmark store has thank you cards in Cyrillic?
So laughably amateur.
GRU is responsible for other high-profile hacks of the DNC and John Podesta.
Total BS, the files were copied internally by Seth Rich on a thumb drive and they know it
He paid for it with his life and they are attempting Russia, Russia, Russia 2.0 to try and hoodwink the electorate because they know they have been exposed and Biden is right in the middle of it
Add that it is from The Slimes and I need not torture my brain cells or personal information by given them hits for crap like this
The media denies that there is video of Biden threatening to withhold the billion, so these will mean nothing to them.
so....if anybody brings up Hunter or Ukraine in this race they are RUSSIAN TROLLS!
How convenient!
