Security experts have revealed that Fancy Bear, the group of Russian hackers who targeted the UK prior to November's presidential election, have also targeted a US television network. The network has not been named, though cybersecurity firm SecureWorks say Fancy Bear gained access to its computer systems in July 2015 and remained undetected for 12 months. The hackers were reportedly able to monitor the network’s internal and external communications, including journalists’ discussions.
