Moscow: We did not hack the Danes

moscow - Russia denies being responsible for hacking the Danish Ministry of Defense. A Kremlin spokesman stressed Monday in a telephone conversation with journalists that the Russian government does not carry out 'hack attacks'.

Moscow thus responded to an accusation by the Danish Secretary of Defense Claus Hjort Frederiksen. He accused the Russians of hacking his department on Sunday. According to the governor, hackers received access to emails from employees in 2015 and 2016.
