MSNBC Political reporter Rachel Maddow suggested Russian interference in the US Presidential elections came from different web pages created in Albania and Macedonia, as part of a “cyber war” of different countries against the United States.

The reporter says different pages on social network sites opened with the name of Democrat’s candidate Bernie Sanders, managed from Albania, have tried to alienate his voters with those of the other candidate Hillary Clinton. And according to her that cost Clinton votes in the November election against Trump.

Maddow suggests those pages are not some simple click bate websites with “fake news”, but tactics of a Russian cyber-war against America. She also mentioned Vladimir Putin’s counselor on cyber war said on February 2016 Moscow was preparing a cyber “atomic bomb” to use against US. One stage of the tactic was the creation of robotic webpages to split democrat’s voters, mainly targeting Sanders’ supporters by spreading on Facebook and Twitter fake news about Clinton.
