UK GOVERNMENT ACCUSES RUSSIAN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
SERVICE OF CYBERATTACKS
he UK government has
accused the Russian military
intelligence service – the
GRU – of carrying out ‘indiscriminate
and reckless cyberattacks’ on political
institutions, businesses, media and
sport. The National Cyber Security
Centre (NCSC) said it had identified that
a number of cyberactors widely known
to have been conducting cyberattacks
around the world are, in fact, the GRU.
These attacks, the NCSC said, have
T
been conducted in ‘flagrant violation’
of international law, have affected
citizens in a large number of countries,
including Russia and have cost national
economies millions of pounds.
Cyberattacks orchestrated by the
GRU have attempted to undermine
international sporting institution WADA,
disrupt transport systems in Ukraine
and destabilise democracies and
target businesses. This campaign
by the GRU shows that it is working
in secret to undermine international
law and international institutions, the
government said.
The Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
said: “These cyberattacks serve no
legitimate national security interest,
instead impacting the ability of people
around the world to go about their daily
lives free from interference and even
their ability to enjoy sport.”
In a statement, the Embassy of
the Russian Federation to the United
Kingdom called the announcement
‘reckless’ and said such statements
by the UK Foreign Office were nothing
but ‘crude disinformation’ aimed at
confusing the British and world
public opinion.
