> ​SAN FRANCISCO — Russian hackers used emails disguised to look as Gmail security updates to hack into the computers 
> of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and members of Hillary Clinton’s top campaign staff, according to a report 
> by the SecureWorks cybersecurity company.
> The emails, which were sent to DNC and Clinton staff from March 10, appeared almost identical to the standard 
> warnings Gmail users get asking them to reset their passwords, the report found. Once clicked, the links took users 
> to a page that imitated a Google login page, but which was stealing their password information — and downloading 
> malware — designed by a group of Russian hackers known as Fancy Bear.
> The emails were sent to 108 members of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign and 20 people 
> clicked on them, at least four people clicking more than once, Secureworks’ research found. The emails were sent to 
> another 16 people from the DNC and four people clicked on them, the report said.​
