After the elections of U.S. President in autumn 2016, the Central Intelligence Agency came to conclusion that Russia’s hacker attacks of U.S. official institutions were aimed directly at supporting Donald Trump, but not discrediting the process of democratic votes itself.
Later, U.S. national intelligence posted online an unclassified version of the report on “Russia’s interference with elections”. The document also has the secret version, which was previously presented to Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
According to the document, President of Russia Vladimir Putin ordered to conduct hacker attacks in order to impact U.S. elections.
