Russian president’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said in an interview with NBC News that Russia is not accusing US authorities of attempts to break into its government servers, despite numerous hacking attacks on the Russian president’s administration website carried out from US territory.
Russian president’s official website “is subjected to hacking attacks hundreds and sometimes even thousands of times a day,” Peskov said, adding that “some hackers attack this site from US territory” while others do it “from China, India or European countries,” RT reports.
“However, it does not lead to a situation when we say that we know Obama ordered [this attack] and the White House is behind it,” he said, adding that such claims would be regarded as nonsense.
