FBI investigating possible cyber breach of New York Times reporter email accounts
The FBI is probing a possible cyber breach of numerous company email accounts belonging to New York Times reporters, a law enforcement source close to the investigation told Fox News on Tuesday.
The investigation, which is ongoing, is looking into how and how far the perpetrators infiltrated the Times email accounts in question.
This source could not say exactly how many New York Times email accounts may have been compromised.
Separately, Fox is told it is too early to make a determination as to who the perpetrators may be or what their motivations are.
The Times did not immediately respond.
CNN first reported the breach of reporter email accounts and added that other U.S. news organizations were also targeted. The source speaking to Fox News was unaware of other reporters at different agencies who may have been targeted.
In 2013, the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for breaking into the Times' online home page, as well as tweeting a false story from The Associated Press' account about a bomb at the White House.
Last month, a hack of Democratic National Committee emails led several DNC officials to resign. The White House said Russian operatives may have been responsible for sending the leaked emails to Wikileaks.
