British intelligence has accused Russia’s military intelligence service of carrying out a string of cyberattacks, including one on the U.S. Democratic National Committee in 2016. The U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre says the GRU targets also included the World Anti-Doping Agency, privately owned Russian media outlets, and firms in Russia and Ukraine. The NCSC said it has assessed “with high confidence” that the GRU was “almost certainly responsible” for the cyberattacks. “The GRU’s actions are reckless and indiscriminate: They try to undermine and interfere in elections in other countries; they are even prepared to damage Russian companies and Russian citizens,” said U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

3. Russia accused of cyber-attack on chemical weapons watchdog

Dutch military intelligence disrupted a Russian cyber-attack on the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Dutch defence minister has said.

The attack, which was thwarted with the help of British officials, came after the cybercrime unit of the GRU Russian military intelligence directorate had also attempted a remote attack on the Porton Down chemical weapons facility in April and on the UK Foreign Office in March. Both attacks were unsuccessful.

The attack on the OPCW is also believed to have been conducted by the GRU, which has been blamed by the British government for the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury in March.

The Dutch defence minister, Ank Bijleveld, said four intelligence officials from the GRU’s cybercrime unit, known as Sandworm, had been expelled from the Netherlands after being caught spying on the chemical weapons body in April.
