Moscow says zero proof Russian hackers involved in Qatar

Moscow today dismissed allegations that Russian hackers helped spark the diplomatic crisis around Qatar, after CNN reported that US officials believed they planted a false news story.

"Whatever happens it is hackers. It's a stale claim and as ever there is zero evidence, and conclusions are drawn before the incident is even investigated," Andrei Krutskikh, a Kremlin advisor on cybersecurity, told the Interfax news agency.
