Navalny: Russian Law Enforcers Back Hacker Attack

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has asked investigators to look into whether law enforcement officials helped hackers break into his e-mail and Twitter accounts this week. Navalny, in a letter addressed to Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykin, said investigators might have shared passwords acquired during searches of his house and office with hackers to gather evidence for a possible criminal case against him.  "My e-mail has been broken into, and through that, my Twitter," Navalny wrote on his LiveJournal blog early Tuesday. “It's obvious it was [hacked] from the computers and iPads seized during the search." The Investigation Committee responded with an angry statement saying that "the access of third parties [to the seized computers] is ruled out" and vowing to "give procedural appraisal" to Navalny's statement (apparently meaning prosecuting Navalny for slander). Navalny, in turn, pointed out that the photos officially taken by investigators during the search of the apartment of Ksenia Sobchak (another opposition figure) appeared in tabloid media half an hour after the search.
