about 7 years in Roll Call
The hackers who tried to infiltrate Sen. Claire McCaskill’s staff email network left behind a trail of evidence that bolsters experts’ assessment that they were from the Russian group responsible for the 2016 cyber attacks on the Democratic National Committee.
Staffers for the Missouri Democrat were targeted earlier this year by a password phishing scam. Hackers sent staffers an email telling them they needed to create new passwords for their Microsoft Exchange email accounts and directed them to a web page that mimicked the U.S. Senate’s Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) log-in page, the Daily Beast reported in July.
