Russians are already being blamed for a newly revealed cyberattack on The New York Times and other U.S. media outlets:
The FBI and other U.S. security agencies are investigating cyber breaches targeting reporters at The New York Times and other U.S. news organizations that are thought to have been carried out by hackers working for Russian intelligence, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials. "Investigators so far believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks and that Russian hackers are targeting news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations, the officials said," CNN said.
[...] The intrusions were detected in recent months, according to CNN. Citing the U.S. officials, it said the Times had hired private security investigators to work with national security officials in assessing the breach.
Also at CNN, Politico, and The Hill.

According to anonymous sources and based on evidence we aren't showing you, those evil Russians whom we hate all of a sudden (ever since Wikileaks released the DNC emails) are at it again. We asked the FBI, who said 'no comment' and the Secret Service who said 'no comment'. The Russians said they didn't do it, but they're evil. The End.

All very reasonable to me .. anonymous sources ... they dont want to become targets of the Russkies too .. evidence we're not showing you .. ofc not .. it MAY be used in a court of law .. evil Russians ( they always been ) are at it again .. again totally normal , it's leaders want to destroy the USA , the FBI , ofc , won't comment , when they do it's to lie and never tell the truth .. better keep quiet in those conditions , Secret service .. well .. it's a secret organisation so they wont comment and for the Russians .. . well , they can say what they want but they ARE evil .. All considered it's a FINE PIECE OF JOURNALISM :)
I don't know what can possibly be seen as unreasonable or not totally above the board .. this is responsible journalism at it's finest.

As long as they stay out of the Ukraine, Trump's OK with it.
