Russia Hack US Election? Comey Says Russians Targeted Hundreds Of US Entities

While answering questions during his hearing before the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, former FBI Director James Comey testified Russian hackers targeted “hundreds” of entities in an attempt to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

"There was a massive effort to target government and near-governmental agencies, like nonprofits," Comey said. When asked how many entities were targeted by Russians attackers, Comey said, “It's hundreds. I suppose it could be more than a thousand, but it's at least hundreds."
