Moscow bureau of the New York Times  was being targeted by a cyber attack this month but there is no evidence of the hackers.

Eileen Murphy, Times spokeswoman  told the newspaper that "We are constantly monitoring our systems with the latest available intelligence and tools. We have seen no evidence that any of our internal systems, including our systems in the Moscow bureau, have been breached or compromised."

According to the reports of  CNN, Investigation is being done by  the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other U.S. security agencies. However, it is thought to have been carried out by hackers working for Russian intelligence.

"Investigators so far believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks and that Russian hackers are targeting news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations, the officials said," CNN reported.

 FBI  has declined a Reuters' request for comment.
