Recent hacking allegations

Russia has frequently faced allegations of carrying cyberattacks on European countries. In July, Britain h accused Russian hackers of trying to steal coronavirus vaccine research. National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) published an visory on July 16, detailing tactics and techniques of a hacker group commonly kwn as ‘APT29’, also kwn as ‘ Dukes’ or ‘Cozy Bear’.

British government said that experts at NCSC are almost certain that APT29, which has targeted medical research and development organisations, is a part of Russian Intelligence Services. According to NCSC assessment, coordinated with Cana’s Communications Security Establishment (CSE), it is highly likely that this activity was to collect information on COVID-19 vaccine research or research into vel coronavirus itself.
