Russia is a major threat to a wide range of U.S. interests because of its "highly-advanced offensive cyber program" and sophisticated capabilities, senior U.S. intelligence officials said on Thursday.
"Russia is a full-scope cyber actor that poses a major threat to U.S. government, military, diplomatic, commercial and critical infrastructure," James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, Marcel Lettre, Undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, and Admiral Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, said in joint testimony prepared for a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The three officials are appearing before the senate armed services committee which is looking into the cyber threat from Moscow.

The committee is investigating whether Russian hacking had any influence on the election of this year's US presidential election.
But the probe is not intended to question the result of the election.
It was unexpectedly won by Donald Trump, amid claims Moscow helped to sway it by hacking into emails of the Democratic National Committee.
