WASHINGTON: Russian military hackers tried to steal emails from the Ukrainian energy firm where Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden, had a seat on the board, a US cybersecurity firm said on Monday .
The Russian Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Officials at the US National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security declined to comment.A source close to Burisma told Reuters the company's website had been subject to multiple break-in attempts over the past six months but did not provide further details.
Publicly available domain registration records examined by Reuters show that the hackers created the decoy domains between Nov 11, the day before US Democrats began their first public impeachment hearings, and Dec 3, the day before the House Judiciary Committee took up the issue. The report gave a limited indication of how Area 1 determined that the lookalike domains were the work of the GRU, pointing mainly to similarities in how the hackers had previously set their digital traps. Area 1 co-founder Blake Darche said unpublished data gathered by his firm linked the operation to a specific officer in Moscow, whose identity he was unable to establish.
