Microsoft said Monday it recently discovered and disabled several fake websites designed to trick visitors and allowing a hacking group connected to the Russian government to hack into their computers. Two of the fake sites were designed to mimic two American conservative organizations -- Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute -- while three other domains were intended to resemble official US Senate sites.

Microsoft said a hacking group linked to the Russian military and known as Strontium was behind spoofing campaign. The group, more widely known as "Fancy Bear" and APT 28, has also been linked to a series of hacks in recent years, including one in which emails and chat transcripts were stolen from the Democratic National Committee's computer network in 2016.
