Alexander Klimburg Discusses His New Book ‘The Darkening Web: The War for Cyberspace’ – EXTENDED INTERVIEW

The idea that Russian hackers attempted to interfere in the vote tallies, and that fake news from both inside and outside the US swayed voters significantly, exemplify the powerful role of the digital world.
