Russia Cyber-plots: US, UK, And Netherlands Allege Hacking

Russian spies are accused of involvement in a series of cyber-plots across the world, leading the United States to level charges against seven agents.

The United States Department of Justice said targets included the global chemical weapons watchdog, anti-doping agencies and a United States nuclear company.

The allegations are part of an organised push-back against alleged Russian cyber-attacks around the world.

Russia earlier dismissed the allegations as “Western spy mania”.
