Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was thrown into turmoil by the leak of emails documenting dirty tactics by the Democratic party leadership. Suggestion of attempts to rig the primary contest in her favour is not merely embarrassing; it is bound to anger supporters of her defeated rival, Bernie Sanders, and deepen the party’s divisions. But this should not be a source of satisfaction for Republicans. They should be equally alarmed by the possibility that the leak came from Moscow — marking a serious escalation in the long term trend of Russian aggression in cyber space.
记录美国民主党领导层“肮脏勾当”的电子邮件的泄露，让希拉里•克林顿(Hillary Clinton)的竞选陷入了混乱。试图操纵初选、使之有利于希拉里的迹象不仅令人难堪，还一定会惹怒已被希拉里击败的对手伯尼•桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)的支持者，进一步加剧民主党的分裂。但美国共和党不应因此而窃喜。后者同样应该对下面这种可能性感到警惕，即此次泄密有可能是莫斯科方面所为——标志着俄罗斯网络空间攻击行为的长期趋势出现重大升级。
