I'm Nicole Perlroth, cybersecurity reporter for The New York Times. I broke the news that Russians hacked the Ukrainian gas company at the center of President Trump's impeachment. US officials warn that Russians have grown stealthier since 2016 and seek to target election systems ahead of 2020. AMA

I'm Nicole Perlroth, the New York Times's cybersecurity reporter who broke the news that Burisma — the Ukrainian gas company at the heart of President Trump's impeachment inquiry — was recently hacked by the same Russian hackers who broke into the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta's email inbox back in 2016.

New details emerged on Tuesday of Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine, intensifying demands on Senate Republicans to include witness testimony and additional documents in the impeachment trial.

Kremlin-directed hackers infiltrated Democratic email servers to interfere with the 2016 American election. Emboldened by their past success, new evidence indicates that they are trying again — The Russian plan for hacking the 2020 election is well underway. If the first target was Burisma, is Russia picking up where Trump left off? A little more about me: I'm a Bay Area native and before joining the Times in 2011, I covered venture capital at Forbes Magazine. My book, “This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends,” about the cyber weapons arms race, comes out in August. I'm a guest lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a graduate of Princeton and Stanford.
