US Intelligence Officials Say Russia Poses Serious Cyberthreat
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top U.S. intelligence officials say Russia poses a major and growing threat to U.S. government, military, diplomatic and commercial operations — as well as America's critical infrastructure.
National Intelligence Director James Clapper and other intelligence officials are testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing focused on Russia's meddling in the U.S. presidential election. They say Russia is among at least 30 nations that are developing capabilities to launch cyberattacks.
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed skepticism that Russia was behind the election hacking.
U.S. intelligence agencies disagree.
The officials aren't expected to disclose details of a report on foreign influence in U.S. elections before President Barack Obama gets a briefing on that report Thursday.
