MOSCOW. April 5 (Interfax) - The reports by German media outlets alleging that Russia is behind cyberattacks on computers of Bundestag members are not upheld by any evidence, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
"We view this as yet another attempt by Western media to play a broken record about Russian hackers. The 'highly likely' literary technique popular there has now been squared, as they've said responsibility probably rests with some group called Ghostwriter, which, in turn, might possibly be linked to Russia," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a commentary published on the ministry website.
"As per tradition, neither proof nor links to sources have been presented," she said.
"The German side is aware of the contact details of the Russian National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents, which is an authorized body for interaction between the Russian Federation and the bodies of foreign states, international non-governmental organizations, and foreign organizations in charge of responding to computer incidents," Zakharova said.
"However, it looks like no official requests have been forwarded to the center again. It's much easier to groundlessly put the blame on Russia than cooperate with our country in reality," Zakharova said.
