The Justice Department on Wednesday will announce charges against hackers with ties to Russia in a breach that affected hundreds of millions of Yahoo accounts, a law enforcement source says.
The law enforcement source would not say if the hack was connected to the Russian government itself.
Yahoo has been breached at least twice, and the company previously said a September 2014 breach was state-sponsored, but declined to identify who it believed was responsible.
The announcement of another cyber intrusion by Russian hackers comes at a time of delicate relations between the US and Russia.
