EU Investigating Reports Russia Tried to Spy on Delegates at G-20 in St. Petersburg
Surprise!
The European Union is investigating newspaper reports that Russia tried to put spyware onto computers of visiting delegations in St. Petersburg at last month's summit of leaders from the world's 20 top economies, but has yet to find any evidence.
European Commission spokesman Frederic Vincent said Wednesday that experts were looking into gifts like USB sticks, which were given out at the Group of 20 summit, but said "analysis of hardware and software have not amounted to any serious security concerns." He insisted the investigation hadn't yet been completed.
