We were attacked by Kremlin hackers. We respond

Code red: Russian special services are massively attacking civil society. Hackers are trying to quietly gain access to emails and cloud storage of journalists, human rights activists, politicians and NGOs, as well as Belarusian and Western public figures.

The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, the human rights organization Access Now, and First Department investigated these attacks - and now we are ready to tell in detail what really happened.
