Russians Hacked Burisma at Center of Impeachment
It appears the Russians searched for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an inv’n of the Bidens and Burisma. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…

The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Then, as now, the Russian hackers from a military intelligence unit known formerly as the G.R.U., and to private researchers by the alias “Fancy Bear,” used so-called phishing emails that appear designed to steal usernames and passwords. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
“The timing of the Russian campaign mirrors the G.R.U. hacks we saw in 2016 against the D.N.C. and John Podesta,” the Clinton campaign chairman. “Once again, they are stealing email credentials, in what we can only assume is a repeat of Russian interference in the last election.”
The Russian attacks on Burisma appear to be running parallel to an effort by Russian spies in Ukraine to dig up information in the analog world that could embarrass the Bidens, according to an American security official. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
Russia has been working since the early days of Mr. Trump’s presidency to turn the focus away from its own election interference in 2016 by seeding conspiracy theories about Ukrainian meddling and Democratic complicity. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
