European countries suspected Moscow of organizing the false mining of dozens of passenger planes. Moscow may be behind the wave of reports of bomb threats against passenger planes sweeping Europe this week. As the Financial Times (FT) reports, European security services are now trying to establish the involvement of Russian authorities in a coordinated campaign that led to the emergency landings of dozens of airliners. They investigate the source of the mining reports, none of which were ultimately confirmed. Some members of the European intelligence community believe that Russia is the most likely organizer. The arguments include clear motives, typical methods, past experience with similar attacks, as well as the first technical clues that were discovered during the investigation of the threats that hit European countries against the background of the Kremlin's increasing hybrid attacks. The working hypothesis of European intelligence agencies is that this series of messages was organized by pro-Kremlin activists or hacker groups. However, it remains unclear whether the Russian intelligence services were involved in directing these operations or whether they simply approved them, if it took place at all, the FT writes. The investigation is at an early stage. More details.
