According to CNN, Alfa Bank's server "repeatedly looked up the contact information for a computer server being used by the Trump Organization [during the election] — far more than other companies did, representing 80% of all lookups to the Trump server."

The FBI investigated why the server appeared to have a disproportionate interest in reaching a server used by the Trump Organization, in a way that was akin to looking up someone's phone number thousands of times.

Investigators have so far found no evidence that Russian officials communicated with the Trump campaign via those servers, according to The New York Times. But independent cybersecurity experts have still been unable to give the company a clean bill of health, the Times said.
