This week, I want to share this interesting article: The United States Department of Justice has reportedly gathered enough evidence to charge at least six Russian government officials for allegedly playing a role in hacking DNC systems and leaking information during the 2016 presidential race.
Earlier this year, US intelligence agencies concluded that the Russian government was behind the hack and expose of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails in order to influence the 2016 presidential election in Donald Trump’s favour.
Now, citing people familiar with the investigation, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that United States federal prosecutors could bring charges against the alleged unnamed Russian officials early next year.

Younes,
I was shocked after reading this article because our own government services, whom we trust, are involved in this. This news has been for quite some time and it is shocking to see Russian government officials involved in hacking DNS systems. How will United States counter this problem anyways? Will such threats be a thing of the past or continue in the next presidential elections too?
