According to this article in the Washington Post the DNC hacks were reportedly conducted by people with ties to Russia. We will have to see the specifics on that eventually.
However, their actions can be seen as an attempt to aid Socialist Bernie Sanders. The revelation that the DNC had worked with the Clinton campaign against Bernie came out before the Democrat Convention. This could have led to a challenge on the convention floor. Apparently Russia preferred Bernie to Clinton.
(Or they just preferred about anyone, including Trump, to Clinton, which I find more likely. Also, they may have just assumed Clinton would win and were trying to embroil her administration in scandal).
