Russian secret services are behind the cyber attacks on the computers of the Dutch Safety Board (OVV), that arch over the MH17 disaster. This allows the BfV German domestic security agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz).
It was known that hackers ' with probably a Russian background ' in October have tried to penetrate the computer systems of the OVV. The BfV performs this cyber attack on as an example of ad-hoc cyber attacks by the Russian secret services. That are in addition to the long-term operations in the cyber espionage.
The attack on the OVV-carried out with nepservers-was designed to obtain credentials of researchers. That would not have succeeded.
Claim it is not the first time Russia is accused of cyber attacks. 33 survivors from Australia recently served, New Zealand and Malaysia a criminal complaint at the European Court of human rights. In the 3,500-page claim their lawyer accuses Russia of involvement in the online attack.
Boeing 777 flight MH17 concerned a Malaysian who had taken off from Amsterdam with 298 people onboard and above the front in the East of Ukraine was knocked down. No one survived. There were 196 Dutch people on board.
