Moscow Challenges The Hague About Alleged Cyber Attack

Uploaded on 2018-10-09 in NEWS-Cybersecurity News, GOVERNMENT-National, FREE TO VIEW

The Russian foreign ministry has summoned the Dutch ambassador in Moscow for a meeting to protest after the Netherlands said it had foiled a cyber-attack by Russians, state news agencies reported.

"Due to the campaign of disinformation carried out in The Hague the Dutch ambassador will be summoned to the foreign ministry on Monday 8th," a source in the ministry told RIA Novosti state news agency.

The Netherlands said last Thursday 4th Oct it had expelled four GRU military intelligence agents in April for an attempt to hack into the headquarters of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. At the time of the alleged plot, the OPCW was investigating the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the English town of Salisbury last March.

It was also investigating allegations of a chemical weapons attack on the Syrian town of Douma by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Moscow.

The suspected agents were travelling on Russian diplomatic passports.Moscow last summoned the Dutch ambassador Rene Jones-Bos along with the Swiss ambassador in September over what it called "unsubstantiated accusations" that Russian spies had attempted to hack Swiss targets.

Russia has dismissed accusations it has orchestrated a string of global cyber-attacks as "spy mania".
