WASHINGTON: The head of the Democratic National Committee said on Sept 13 the organisation had been hacked by Russian state-sponsored agents who were trying to influence the US presidential election, after a similar leak in July roiled the party. 

A link to the documents was posted on WikiLeaks' Twitter account and attributed to alleged hacker Guccifer 2.0. The release came during a presentation on Sept 13 from a person speaking on behalf of Guccifer 2.0 at a London cyber security conference, Politico reported.
