Employees of the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States, may attempt to hack into networks of hacker groups associated with the Russian authorities, to understand if any of them are involved in the recent attacks on the Democratic Party.
This was reported by ABC News TV channel referring directly to the three sources of US intelligence.
It is reported that the head of the legitimate access Department of the NSA Robert Joyce declined to comment on issues related to the attacks on the Democratic Party. At the same time, he noted that the agency has the technical capacity and the legal basis for the organization of "reverse attack" ( "hack back") in relation to suspected groups.
