In Switzerland, Two Russians were detained on suspicion of cyber attack attempt on the laboratories of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), located in Lausanne. This is reported by the German Deutsche Welle international broadcasting company.

It became known that besides the WADA laboratory, the detainees have planned cyber attacks on a number of other institutions. Note, that the incident could cost to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency a membership in WADA (Russia has reinstated it only a month ago).
Recall that the Netherlands has announced prevention of Russia’s cyber attacks on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Earlier the United Kingdom has accused the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Federation of organizing cyber attacks around the world.
As The Journalist reported, unknown persons have attacked the Canadian Embassy in Athens.
