WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO: A computer network used by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hacked as part of a broad cyberattack on Democratic political organisations, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. 

The latest attack, which was disclosed to Reuters on July 29, follows two other hacks on the Democratic National Committee, or DNC, and the party’s fundraising committee for candidates for the US House of Representatives.
