Phishing emails, malware and fake net domains were all being used as attack techniques, said Feike Hacquebord, from security company Trend Micro.
An RT crew caught up with En Marche's spokeswoman to ask when RT will get accreditation by the team of French presidential hopeful Emmanuel Macron during a rally in his hometown.
Trend Micro has stopped short of accusing any country of pulling Pawn Storm's strings, but American spy agencies and a variety of threat intelligence firms say that Pawn Storm, an extraordinarily prolific group also known as Fancy Bear or APT28, of being an arm of Russia's intelligence apparatus.
"This is not a 100 percent confirmation, but it's very, very likely", Hacquebord said, adding the political nature of the targeting was "really in line with what they've been doing in the last two years".
"We have collectively made the National Front normal", he lamented. Despite being publicly called out by the United States government, the hackers are not slowing down.
On Sunday, the day of the first round of the election, RT was denied access into Macron's headquarters.
Macron's political ideology has made him a target for Russian Federation.
He said Pawn Storm's fake websites were "pixel flawless ..." That rate largely steers short-term rates and keeping it that low makes it cheaper for banks to borrow money, which in turn would mean lower borrowing costs for businesses.

North Korea's U.N. mission said Wednesday the nation would react to "a total war" with Washington by using nuclear weapons. Security Council meeting Friday created to get nations to enforce existing penalties on North Korea and weigh new ones.
He said "nothing was compromised", however. "The attacks that Russian Federation used against the U.S. - of getting hold of embarrassing information and releasing it - I'd say the French are very open to such things".
Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen appears to have upstaged her centrist rival Emmanuel Macron at the closure-threatened Whirlpool factory in his home town of Amiens.
And now she has taken even greater steps to dominate the news agenda in France in her bid to win the second round of voting on May 7.
Le Pen last month told France's BMFTV news channel that colonisation had done "a great deal" for Algeria.
"Why Russia?" Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"What [hacking] groups? From where?"
But Macron stood his ground for more than an hour putting his case to the workers, and the atmosphere gradually calmed during an encounter that was broadcast live.
Perforce, the presidency compels its holder to evolve and become a catalyst of change, and the technocrat Macron may yet prove to be a capable politician, confirming the expectation of those who cast their vote in his favor and the hopes of the pro-Europeans who are looking to a force to mitigate Germany's dominion over the bloc.
