US Identifies 6 Russian Government Officials Involved In DNC Hack

This weak, I found this interesting article that I thought I should share with you. A summary is included as well.

Enough evidence to charge six Russian government officials were gathered by the United States Department of Justice in plating a role in hacking DNC systems and leaking information during the 2016 presidential race. Earlier this year, US intelligence agencies conducted that the Russian government was behind hacking and exposing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails to the influence of Donald Trump favor. The US authorities believe that another dozen of unnamed Russians are could be charges with the participation in the DNC attack as well. However, both Putin and Russian government officials have denied allegations.

This incedent happened one year ago when thousands of DNC emails were stolen from the DNC computer system. These emails included Haliry Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. They were appeared in Wikileaks website.

U.S. federal agents and prosecutors in Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and San Francisco have been cooperating with the DNC investigation. However, none of them has revealed the actual identity of the six suspects.

However, even after getting charged, the Russian officials or hackers will hardly be prosecuted in the United States until they enter the US soil because the country has no extradition agreement with Russia.
