MOSCOW — In December, Russia arrested two of its most senior cybersecurity officials on treason charges, prompting speculation that the pair might have tipped off the American authorities about Russian hacking during the 2016 election campaign.
Prosecutors have released no details since, and the case remains shrouded in mystery. But this week an independent Russian television station, Dozhd, reported that the men had been arrested on charges that they helped the United States detain a prominent criminal hacker two years before the election.
