There as a hack on the Kremlin before the election. I'm pretty sure that was them. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37857658

They aren't going to announce they did it, but others (like Eichenwald, IIRC) have come to the same conclusion I did.

The White House said the public isn't going to know about everything they do in response.
