Another 'Russian Hacker' Story Debunks Itself
By Moon Of Alabama
July 04, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - The British news agency
Reuters is again distributing false claims about
'Russian hacking':
Exclusive: Papers leaked before UK election in suspected
Russian operation were hacked from ex-trade minister -
sources
Classified U.S.-UK trade documents leaked ahead of
Britain’s 2019 election were stolen from the email
account of former trade minister Liam Fox by
suspected Russian hackers, two sources with direct
knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because a law enforcement investigation is underway,
said the hackers accessed the account multiple times
between July 12 and Oct. 21 last
year.
They declined to name which Russian group or
organisation they believed was responsible, but said
the attack bore the hallmarks of a state-backed
operation.
The highlighted date of July 12 is interesting.

The Telegraph was the first to report from
the leaked papers:
Leaked documents expose lack of progress in US-UK trade
talks

That was on July 10 2019, two days before the
'Russians hackers' allegedly got their hands on the
British-U.S. trade documents!
Back in December the same Reuters 'European
Cybersecurity Correspondent',
Jack Stubbs,
authored another wild scare story that blamed some
dubious Russian group for different leak of UK
government papers.
Leak of papers before UK election raises 'spectre of
foreign influence' - experts
It was as fact free as his current one.
Stubbs should ask his MI6 handlers to stop
embarrassing him.
