The UK's accusations come amid heightened tension between Russia and the US over cybersecurity. In July, US special counsel Robert Mueller filed charges against 12 Russian hackers tied to DNC cyberattacks. Prosecutors said the hackers' intention was to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Hunt attributed six specific attacks to hacker groups associated with the GRU, including APT 28, Fancy Bear, Sofacy, Pawnstorm, Sednit, CyberCaliphate, Cyber Berkut, Voodoo Bear and BlackEnergy Actors, Strontium, Tsar Team and Sandworm.
