Moscow has denied accusations of stealing coronavirus-related developments

Accusations of the British authorities against Russia of allegedly stealing coronavirus developments by Russian hackers are "typical corona - madness" and a new round of information warfare, said Oleg Morozov, member of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs.

According to the Senator, the West this time did not miss the information occasion to call Moscow an enemy, despite the fact that the charges do not have any basis.

“The pandemic is another reason to embed this informational novelty in the "holy" fight against "terrible” Russia. This is like a virus that is invisible, but about which everyone is aware - so are Russian hackers. This topic is the modern information virus,” said Mr. Morozov.
The discourse began when cybersecurity experts warned that hostile states were trying to hack the databases of British universities and research institutions to steal research related to COVID-19, including the development of vaccines.

According to them, Iran and Russia are behind the hacking attempts, experts say that China is also a likely criminal. However, all attacks were unsuccessful, writes The Guardian.

Now dozens of British universities and institutions with biomedical potential are working on COVID-19 research, from new diagnostic tests to experimental treatments.

Oxford University, which is working on vaccine development and has recently started human trials, has already asked the NCSC to protect its research.

Recall that digital passes began to operate in Moscow and Moscow region on April 15. More than 900 thousand permanent digital passes were issued, and about 400 thousand one-time passes are issued daily. Specialists believe that the system of electronic tracking of people is being introduced into mass use in Moscow right now. And the epidemic is a good reason for such actions.
In addition, resources with a video message were revealed in North Ossetia, the author of which, speaking about the situation with COVID-19, said that states want to introduce artificial intelligence into people 's bodies through chips, through anonymization of a person, through biometrics, through distance learning.
