LONDON - Whoever leaked UK-U.S. trade papers online ahead of Britain’s general election took extensive precautions to cover their tracks, which experts who suspect Russia was behind the effort say points to a professional and well-planned operation.
British intelligence officials are now investigating whether the documents, which detail negotiations between Britain and the United States over a future trade deal, were part of a “hack and leak” operation ahead of a general election on Thursday. The opposition Labour Party has seized on the leaked documents to allege a plot by the governing Conservatives to sell off parts of the state-run National Health Service in trade talks with the United States, a key issue in the British election campaign.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied allegations of election meddling and dismissed suspicions that Russian hackers may have stolen and leaked the documents.
