Hillary Clinton campaign too was targeted in hacking attack on Democrats
A computer network used by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hacked as part of a broad cyber attack on Democratic political organisations, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.The latest attack, which was disclosed to Reuters on Friday, follows two other hacks on the Democratic National Committee, or DNC, and the party’s fundraising committee for candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives.
A Clinton campaign spokesman said in a statement late on Friday that an analytics data programme maintained by the DNC and used by the campaign and a number of other entities “was accessed as part of the DNC hack”.“Our campaign computer system has been under review by outside cyber security experts. To date, they have found no evidence that our internal systems have been compromised,” said Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill.
Later, a campaign official said hackers had access to the analytics programme’s server for approximately five days. The analytics data programme is one of many systems the campaign accesses to conduct voter analysis, and does not include social security numbers or credit card numbers, the official said.The U.S. Department of Justice national security division is investigating whether cyber attacks on Democratic political organisations threatened U.S. security, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The involvement of the Justice Department’s national security division is a sign that the Obama administration has concluded that the hacking was sponsored by a state, people with knowledge of the investigation said.While it is unclear exactly what material the hackers may have gained access to, the third such attack on sensitive Democratic targets disclosed in the last six weeks has caused alarm in the party and beyond, just over three months before the November 8, 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Hackers, whom U.S. intelligence officials have concluded were Russian, gained access to the entire network of the fundraising Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, said people familiar with the matter, detailing the extent of the breach to Reuters for the first time.
Cyber security experts and U.S. officials said earlier this week they had concluded, based on analysis of malware and other aspects of the DNC hack, that Russia engineered the release of hacked Democratic Party emails to influence the U.S. presidential election.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Friday it was “aware of media reporting on cyber intrusions involving multiple political entities, and is working to determine the accuracy, nature and scope of these matters”.“The FBI takes seriously any allegations of intrusions, and we will continue to hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace,” the agency said in an emailed statement.The hack did not involve the private email system Ms. Clinton used while she was Secretary of State.
Former Brazilian President Lula to face trial for obstruction of justice
A Brazilian judge has accepted charges against former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for allegedly obstructing a corruption investigation involving state-run oil giant Petrobras, clearing the way for one of the country’s best-known political figures to stand trial.
The decision published on Friday names of Mr. Silva and five others as co-conspirators in an alleged attempt to buy the silence of a former Petrobras director implicated in the scandal. A date for the trial has not yet been set.The obstruction-of-justice accusation against Silva comes from a plea bargain testimony by former Senator Delcidio do Amaral, who was stripped of his seat by his peers and will also stand trial.
On Thursday, Mr. Silva’s lawyers filed a petition at the U.N. Human Rights Committee alleging a lack of impartiality and abuse of power by another judge investigating the Petrobras scandal.Mr. Silva, who is universally known in Brazil as Lula, denied any wrongdoing. “It is up to the prosecutors and federal police to prove what they say,” he said.
It is the first time that the former President will stand trial for charges related to the Petrobras scandal. He is also accused by Sao Paulo State prosecutors of money laundering and criminal misrepresentation in connection with an alleged real estate scheme that benefited him and his family.
Mr. Silva governed from 2003 to 2010. Despite a votes-for-bribes scandal that took down his chief of staff, he left office with record high popularity levels and his hand-picked successor, Dilma Rousseff, handily won the presidency. But his popularity has since been battered by corruption allegations and an economic downturn that undermined his successor.
Xiaomi Redmi Pro in India, U.S., U.K. and other countries: How to purchase the smartphone outside China?
Xiaomi launched its premium Redmi Pro smartphone in China on Wednesday with much-needed focus on design and the specifications. The Redmi Pro was launched in three variants, all of which have different configurations to match consumers’ needs. There are several highlights of the new Redmi Pro, but the dual camera setup in the budget device has got us all talking.
Xiaomi’s pricing of the Redmi Pro is ¥1999 (around $300/€272/Rs. 20,133) for the high-end Mediatek Helio X25+4GB RAM+128GB storage model, ¥1699 (around $255/€232/Rs.17,110) for Mediatek Helio X25 +3GB RAM+64GB variant and ¥1499 (around $225/€204/Rs. 15,095) for Mediatek Helio X20+3GB+32GB storage option. The company said the handset will be available in China on August 6, but eager buyers around the world can sign up on GearBest to be the first to own the Redmi Pro when it becomes available.
GearBest has a history of selling smartphones internationally even though they are limited to specific region. Xiaomi traditionally launches its smartphones in China before other countries. Even when the international launch takes place, the release is not done for weeks and sometimes months. In those situations, GearBest can be a reliable source to import the unreleased smartphones from China to countries such as India, U.S., U.K. and others.
Since Xiaomi hasn’t started the sales of the Redmi Pro in China itself, GearBest is accepting pre-orders for the device. Interested buyers can sign up to purchase 32GB variant of the handset in silver or gray colours and GearBest will notify when the handset is available.
Going by the product listing, it appears only the base variant of the Redmi Pro will be available on GearBest. The handset is equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD OLED display, 13MP+5MP dual camera setup on the back and a 5MP front snapper. The Redmi Pro packs a 4,050mAh battery and a fingerprint scanner integrated within the Home button of the device. It features USB Type-C connectivity and runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box.
