The New York Times made it known that their Moscow bureau was targeted by a cyber attack this month, however, there was no evidence the hackers were successful.

The hackers, who were believed to be working for Russian intelligence, have carried out a series of cyber breaches targeting The New York Times reporters as well as other U.S. news organizations, based on the report of CNN.

The officials of the American daily newspaper stated that the cyber attack was detected in recent months and is now under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as well as other United States security agencies.

So far, investigators believed that Russian intelligence is behind the intrusions and that Russian hackers are attacking news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations.

Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy stated that they are constantly monitoring their systems with the latest available intelligence and tools. Murphy also said that they have seen no evidence that any of their internal systems, which includes their systems in the Moscow bureau, have been cracked or even compromised.

The FBI and the representatives of the U.S. Secret Service (which has a role in protecting the United States from cyber attack) did not reply to a request for comment, according to NBC News.

However, these cyber attacks came in the middle of a wave of similar attacks that targets major U.S. political parties that have surfaced ahead of the November 8 presidential election.

That being said, the Russian hackers have a long list of successful cyber attacks in both the U.S. and the international community. As the German domestic intelligence agency claimed the Russians were hacking Germany's parliament in 2015.

Prior to that cyber attack, in 2007, Russian hackers were suspected of initiating a sustained cyber attack against Estonian organizations, which includes Estonia's Parliament, banks and newspapers, according to ABC News.
