Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has been hacked as part of a larger cyber attack against Democratic Party institutions, US media report.<\/p>\n
The latest hack follows two data breaches involving the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.<\/p>\n
US officials widely believe that the cyber attacks were committed by agents working for the Russian government.<\/p>\n
Some fear that Russia may be trying to influence the presidential election.<\/p>\n
The Russian government has denied involvement and denounced the “poisonous anti-Russian” rhetoric coming out of Washington.<\/p>\n
The Clinton campaign said on Friday that an analytics data program, which it shared with other entities, had been accessed by hackers.<\/p>\n
But, said her press secretary Nick Merrill, there was “no evidence that our internal systems have been compromised”.<\/p>\n
The FBI said it was investigating the allegations and the extent of any hacking.<\/p>\n
Hacked emails from Democratic National Committee were leaked last week on the eve of the party’s convention.<\/p>\n
The emails showed Democratic Party officials were biased against Bernie Sanders in his primary race against Mrs Clinton.<\/p>\n
The hack led to the resignation of the party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and sparked protests at the convention in Philadelphia .<\/p>\n
