Russian hackers 'targeted New York Times'

The FBI is investigating whether Russian hackers have carried out a series of cyber attacks on the New York Times, officials have told US media.

They believe Russian intelligence could be behind the hack, which targeted individual reporters, according to Associated Press.

Investigators do not believe the newspaper's whole network was affected, according to the official.

A Times spokeswoman said no internal systems had been affected.

"We have seen no evidence that any of our internal systems, including our systems in the Moscow bureau, have been breached or compromised," she said.

CNN first reported the story and said the intrusions go back months.
