Washington, June 14 (Reuters): Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to all Opposition research on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the committee and security researchers said today. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, confirmed the breach to Reuters, first reported by The Washington Post. "Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders agreed to meet when she called him last Tuesday night," a Clinton campaign official said. The Post quoted US officials as saying Russian spies also targeted the networks of Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as computers of some Republican political action committees. The intrusion is emblematic of the sophistication of Russian hackers, who intelligence officials have long viewed as the most talented of US adversaries in cyberspace.
