The Clinton Foundation says it has not been breached by the suspected Russian hackers that are believed to have infiltrated major Democratic Party organizations in a campaign Hillary Clinton supporters describe as an attempt thwart the candidate's presidential bid.

"We have no evidence Clinton Foundation systems were breached and have not been notified by law enforcement of an issue,” a Clinton Foundation official told POLITICO.


Reuters reported late Wednesday that the Democratic candidate’s family foundation had hired security firm FireEye to analyze its networks “after seeing indications they might have been hacked.”

The Reuters story claimed that foundation officials saw evidence of the same hacking techniques that researchers say led to successful breaches at the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

But the foundation official said Thursday that the organization's network remained secure.

The official did not respond to a follow-up email asking whether the foundation had indeed hired FireEye.

FireEye did not respond to a request for comment.

Citing several sources, including “two U.S. security officials,” Reuters claimed that “the hackers appear to have used ‘spear phishing’ techniques to gain access to the foundation's network.”

These hacking tactics can include sending fake, malware-lade emails, or creating spoofed websites that lure employees into entering their sensitive information.

The Reuters report did not clarify whether the observed attacks were successful or merely attempts.
