Wonders shall never end, as Russia is being accused again by
the United Kingdom for hacking the June 23 EU referendum in favour of Brexiters,
after the United States levelled similar accusation against Russia for hacking
in favour of Donald Trump against Hilary Clinton, who was preferred government
candidate.
According to Ben Bradshaw, the validity of the referendum
result is questionable because the British people overlooked the degree of
cyber warfare by Vladmir Putin.
However, Bradshaw’s claim was immediately debunked by the
Prime Minister’s spokesman who said: "I have not come across any evidence
that Russian cyber warfare was used to influence the referendum."
Mr Bradshaw, who was fired as a "Remoaner" by
Leave campaigners, told MPs: "I don't think we have even begun to wake up
to what Russia is doing when it comes to cyber warfare.
"Not only their interference, now proven, in the
American presidential campaign, probably in our own referendum last year."
He included that: "We don't have the evidence for that
yet, but I think it's highly probable.
"Certainly in the French presidential election, they
will be involved, and there are already serious concerns in the German secret
service that Russia is already interfering in the elections coming up.
"We've got to wake up to this."
Recall that earlier this week, Defence Secretary Sir Michael
Fallon said there was "a disturbing pattern" of allegations against
Russia around cyber warfare.
He pointed to examples in Bulgaria, the referendum in the
Netherlands and its continuing pressure on the Baltic states.
Nonetheless Mrs May's spokesman stated on Mr Bradshaw's
claim: "The referendum was run in this country, it was a very clear vote
and we are now getting on with delivering on the will of the people to take
Britain out of the European Union."
