https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/21/no-hackers-working-for-the-russian-government-russia-says.htmlRussia has rejected allegations that it coordinated hacking attempts against academic and pharmaceutical bodies in the West, with Finance Minister Anton Siluanov telling CNBC Monday that no hackers work for the Kremlin.
“There are no hackers working for the Russian government, so our government does not consider any actions by hackers, nor does it coordinate them,” Siluanov told CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore.
“I can reiterate that from our point of view no hackers were given any special task of accessing pharma companies’ websites,” he said, insisting that the country had no vested interest in other nations’ coronavirus vaccine development as Russia is trying to develop its own.
“Therefore I do not really see any point for hackers to be involved in these activities,” Siluanov added.
Oh, and Russia doesn't meddle in elections either? Stop lying.
