The American Microsoft Corporation has announced that it has recorded new attempts by hackers connected to Russia, to influence the elections in the U.S. Congress, which will be held in November. According to Microsoft, “a group closely associated with the Russian government,” Strontium (Fancy Bear, and APT28) created web pages and URLS that mimicked the websites of the International Republican Institute, the Board of Directors which consists of six Republican senators and candidates to the American Parliament, and the Hudson Institute.
