PARIS (AP) — The same Russian government-aligned hackers who penetrated the Democratic Party have spent the past few months laying the groundwork for an espionage campaign against the U.S. Senate, a cybersecurity firm said Friday. He then cross-referenced digital fingerprints associated with those sites to ones used almost exclusively by Fancy Bear, which his Tokyo-based firm dubs "Pawn Storm." If Fancy Bear has targeted the Senate over the past few months, it wouldn't be the first time. The targeting of Olympic groups comes as relations between Russia and the International Olympic Committee are particularly fraught. Whether any Senate emails could be published in such a way isn't clear.
