Russian hackers targeted three nuclear labs in the U.S. during the same period when Vladimir Putin expressed a willingness to use nuclear weapons, Reuters reports.
The Russian hacking team, known as Cold Water, reportedly targeted the Brookhaven, Argonne and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories between August and September, creating fake login pages and attempting to get scientists to unknowingly reveal their
