The Ukrainian company behind American impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump was hacked by Russians in the fall, a specialist company quoted by several American daily newspapers revealed on Monday.
Accused of having frozen $ 400 million in military aid to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his potential presidential rival, Joe Biden, the American president, Donald Trump, is mired in a dismissal procedure.
A "successful" hack
Donald Trump says he has nothing to reproach himself for and hammers, without proof, that Joe Biden and his son Hunter are "corrupt", in particular because the latter served on the management of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas group for a time suspected of practices doubtful.
This group was targeted by hackers linked to Russian military intelligence (GRU) in November, say the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal , based on a report published by a Silicon computer company. Valley specializes in the fight against piracy. According to the company, Area 1, the attack was "successful".
Attacks similar to those of the 2016 presidential campaign
The methods used by hackers are said to be very similar to those used during the hacking of emails from top Democratic officials during the 2016 presidential campaign. These attacks were attributed by US intelligence agencies to Russia.
On December 18, Donald Trump was indicted by the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives for "abuse of power" and "interfering with the proper functioning of Congress." He must now be tried in the Senate, where with a Republican majority which is loyal to him for the time being, he will most likely be acquitted.
