A hacker believed to be tied to the Russian intelligence services made public another set of internal Democrat Party documents on Friday, including the personal cellphone numbers and email addresses of nearly 200 lawmakers.
The emergence of another set of leaked documents threatened to intensify international tensions over Russia’s suspected meddling in United States politics.
The hacker claiming responsibility for the breach — working under the pseudonym Guccifer 2.0, which American intelligence officials believe is an alias for a Russian intelligence hacker — appeared eager to taunt Democrats.
“It’s time for new revelations now,” the hacker wrote in posting the files. “All of you may have heard about the DCCC hack. As you see I wasn’t wasting my time! It was even easier than in the case of the DNC breach.”
On Friday night, the hacker indicated that more leaks would follow, writing on Twitter that “the major trove” of the House committee documents would be sent to WikiLeaks. “Keep following,” the hacker wrote.
American intelligence officials said they are virtually certain that Russian intelligence officials were behind the attack.
Beyond the cellphone numbers and email addresses for Democrat lawmakers, the latest release also included passwords for some internal databases.
Trump urged the Russians last month to try to find 33,000 emails from Clinton’s personal server. But after his remark produced an intense backlash, Trump said that he was being "sarcastic".
