Russian hackers targeted Clinton emails

Russia-linked hackers tried at least five times to pry into Hillary Clinton’s private email account while she was secretary of state, newly released emails show. It is unclear if she clicked on any attachments and exposed her account.

Clinton received the infected emails, disguised as speeding tickets from New York, over four hours on the morning of August 3, 2011.

The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets. Opening an attachment would have allowed hackers to take control of a victim’s computer.
