“Intruders broke into the DNC’s systems and read all emails and chat histories,” the newspaper quoted committee officials and security experts as saying.

DNC representative and chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz affirmed that the above behavior violated international laws and declared "considering this a serious incident that needs to be resolved".

"We quickly removed the intruders from the system and re-established network security," Mr. Wasserman Schultz said.

The article also said Russian spies targeted the networks of Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as the computers of several Republican political committees.

The newspaper stressed that the hackers had access to the DNC's network for about a year "but were all expelled over the weekend in a computer cleanup operation."
