Microsoft says fresh Russian hacking attacked Republicans ahead of US midterm elections

Microsoft says Russians are attacking US political groups ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Fake websites that were meant to look like two American conservative organisations and the US Senate have been created by a hacking group linked to the Russian government, Microsoft said. But they don't appear to be focused on promoting specific parties, unlike the Trump-supporting hacks prior to the presidential election. Instead, they seem intent on undermining democracy as a whole, experts said. Microsoft didn't say what the pages looked like.
