Skripals’ Investigation – Russia reported to have hacked British Visa system

Russia may have hacked the British visa system to gain documents for the agents who attempted to assassinate the Skripals, an investigation has claimed.

The Telegraph reports that the probe suggests that Russian intelligence infiltrated the computer infrastructure of a company – TLSContact – that processes British visa applications.

The investigation, published Friday by investigative group Bellingcat and Russian website The Insider, aims to show how the two Russian military intelligence agents who have been charged with the Salisbury poisoning may have obtained British visas.
