All this thing about Russian hackers aiding Trump's candidacy but it seems to be part of a general Russian assault on Websites everywhere.
Most of the visitors to my website that click on a product but do not complete a purchase are from Russia. Checked just now and had one from UK and 35 from Russia. They click on everything on the site, I keep getting PMs with no message.
Doubt my little website would affect the US elections, so presumably I am just one of many subject to these attempts. Are they trying to get be the world hacking leaders?
