		</div><p>Russia-linked hackers tried at least five times to trick Hillary Clinton into infecting her computer systems while she was US secretary of state, newly-released emails show.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton received the virus-riddled e-mails, disguised as speeding tickets from New York, over four hours early on the morning of August 3, 2011.</p>
<p>The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets – and opening them would have allowed hackers to take over control of a victim’s computer.</p>
<p>Security researchers who analysed the malicious software in September 2011 said that infected computers would transmit information from victims to at least three server computers overseas, including one in Russia.</p>
<p>Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Mrs Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign, said: “We have no evidence to suggest she replied to this e-mail or that she opened the attachment. As we have said before, there is no evidence that the system was ever breached. All these e-mails show is that, like millions of other Americans, she received spam.”</p>
<p>The messages show hackers had Mrs Clinton’s e-mail address, which was not public, and sent her a fake traffic ticket from New York state, where she lives. Most commercial anti-virus software at the time would have detected the software and blocked it.</p>
<p>The phishing attempts highlight the risk of Mrs Clinton’s unsecure e-mail being pried open by foreign intelligence agencies, even if others also received the virus concealed as a speeding ticket from Chatham, New York.</p>
<p>The e-mail misspelled the name of the city, came from a supposed New York City government account and contained a “Ticket.zip” file.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton has faced increasing questions over whether her unusual e-mail set-up amounted to a proper form of secrecy protection and records retention. The e-mails themselves – many redacted heavily before public release – have provided no shocking disclosures so far and Mrs Clinton has insisted the server was secure.</p>
