Guccifer 2.0 and The DNC Breach

We are very excited to share that ThreatConnect has been featured in multiple news articles about the recent hack of the Democratic National Committee. The Democrats think that the Russians hacked their system in order to rig the United States presidential election in favor of the Republican candidate Donald Trump. The ThreatConnect Research team, led by CIO Rich Barger, have done extensive research on the subject that was included in the articles. For links to the various articles, please see below.
