The UK government has accused Russia’s military intelligence service (GRU) of cyberattacks.
The National Cyber Security Center said the targets over the years included, among others, the US Democratic Party, a small TV network in the UK and even Russia’s central bank.
According to the NCSC, it has assessed with 'high confidence' that the GRU was most certainly responsible for the attacks. Moscow has repeatedly denied the accusations of hacking.
