The US Department of Justice said on Thursday that it had dismantled a Russian intelligence hacking network. US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said, “For the second time in two months, we have prevented state-sponsored digital hackers from carrying out electronic attacks under the guise of fragile American Internet connection devices (routers)” The Ministry of Justice says that an operation authorized by the judiciary last January stopped the activity of a network that includes hundreds of routers in small offices and homes controlled by Russian intelligence.
