New cyber attack hits Democratic Party

July 30, 2016 00:59

Democratic Party officials said today they have been targeted by a fresh cyber attack, similar to a breach at the Democratic National Committee that resulted in an embarrassing leak of party emails.

The revelation will raise further questions in the United States about the activities of Russian hackers after Hillary Clinton's campaign blamed Moscow for the initial breach that revealed how party leaders sought to undermine her potential White House rival, Bernie Sanders.

The emails were made public by WikiLeaks and the Kremlin has dismissed as absurd allegations that it was behind the hack. President Barack Obama has refused to rule out that Russia is trying to sway the US presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee was the target of a "cyber security incident," its national press secretary Meredith Kelly confirmed Friday.
