A group calling itself Cyber Resistance says it had stolen correspondence from Lt. Col. Sergey Morgachev, who was charged in 2018 with helping organize the hack and leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – Ukrainian hackers claim to have broken into the emails of a senior Russian military spy wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for hacking the Hillary Clinton campaign and other senior US Democrats ahead of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016.
Reuters was not immediately able to fully corroborate the claim, but some of Morgachev’s purported personal information – which the hackers shared with the Ukrainian publication InformNapalm – lines up with previously leaked data preserved by the cybersecurity research platform Constella Intelligence.
Repeated messages left at email addresses and a telephone number purporting to belong to Morgachev went unreturned, and attempts by Reuters to reach him via social media and his current place of employment – said to be the sanctioned Saint Petersburg-based Special Technology Center – were not immediately successful. The Russian Embassy in Washington did not immediately return messages; neither did the FBI.
In its indictment, the FBI described him as an officer in the Russia’s military spy agency, still known by its old acronym, GRU. It said his department was “dedicated to developing and managing malware,” including the “X-Agent” spy software used to hack the DNC.
