'Highly likely' GRU hacked UK institute countering Russian fake news

 

Whitehall sources said it is highly likely that Russia's military intelligence service carried out the hack-and-leak of files from the little-known Institute for Statecraft.

 

The move may have been in response to Britain implicating the GRU in the Salisbury spy poisoning last year and pledging to "shine a light" on the agency's covert activities, they said.

 

Security officials regard the attack as significant because - if confirmed - it would mark the first time Russia has conducted a hack-and-leak operation in Britain, a separate source said.
