Britain accuses Russia of allegedly directing a host of cyber attacks globally

Firstpost  

Britain accused Russian military intelligence on 4 October of directing a host of cyber attacks aimed at undermining Western democracies by sowing confusion in everything from the 2016 US presidential election to the global chemical weapons watchdog. British Prime Minister Theresa May has said GRU officers used a nerve agent to try to kill former double agent Sergei Skripal, who was found unconscious in the English city of Salisbury in March. It was Russian President Vladimir Putin, himself a former KGB spy, said on Wednesday that Skripal, a GRU officer who betrayed dozens of agents to Britain’s MI6 foreign spy service, was a “scumbag” who had betrayed Russia. The International Community — including Russia — has agreed that international law and norms of responsible state behaviour apply in cyberspace,” Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
