Sessions added that the DOJ is “determined to achieve justice in these cases.” He vowed to “continue to protect the American people from hackers and disinformation.”
On the other hand, FBI Director Christopher Wray condemned the actions of the Russian hackers. He called their actions “criminal, retaliatory, and damaging to innocent victims, the United States economy, and world organizations.”
“The FBI will not permit any government, group, or individual to threaten our people, our country, or our partners. We will work tirelessly to find them, stop them, and bring them to justice,” added Wray.
Meanwhile, Scott Brady, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, said, “We want the hundreds of victims of these Russian hackers to know that we will do everything we can to hold these criminals accountable for their crimes. State actors who target U.S. citizens and companies are no different than any other common criminal.”
