Microsoft announced Tuesday that it had uncovered — and thwarted — fresh Russian hacking attempts on U.S. political groups ahead of the November midterm elections.
The hacking attempts, which targeted two conservative think-tanks, have been described as attempts to “disrupt democracy” itself and to undermine any institution, regardless of political affiliation, that challenges the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Microsoft said it, in recent weeks, detected and pulled fake websites that appeared to spoof the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute .
The company said the phishing attempts point to a troubling new trend: Russian hackers appear to be casting a wider net, no longer just targeting Democratic candidates and groups like they had before the 2016 presidential election.

But they are good guys, really they are. /s
So it won't count. It's still Trump working for Putin blah blah blah
Or is it Putin working for Trump?
It appears the Russian Regime is simply protecting its investment.
Is it time to put the term 'RINO' ( republican in name only ) to bed and replace it with 'TINO' ( trumpian in name only ) ? ?
The GOPERS bought the bag. An empty bag. A bag owned by others.
Wonder how the Trump West Virginia rally went tonight. I heard there were several chants of "Lock Her Up." Yeah well, got to throw the 'chum' for the frenzied.
