Russia's intelligence services targeted high-profile British politicians, civil servants and journalists with cyberespionage and “malicious cyberactivity” as part of sustained attempts to interfere in U.K. political processes, Britain's government said Thursday.
The Foreign Office said Russia's FSB agency was responsible for a range of cyberespionage operations in the U.K., including targeting British parliamentarians from multiple parties from at least 2015 through to this year and selectively leaking and amplifying sensitive information to serve Russian interests.
