This Is How Western Intelligence Was Able To Identify 300 Russian GRU Intelligence Agents

Morenets appears to be travelling under his real name and date of birth - leading them to his address: Moscow's main spy centre

Daily Mail: Bungling Russian spies' biggest blunder revealed: Hacker's car documents help identify more than 300 GRU agents... because his Lada is registered to their Moscow cyber HQ

* US charges 7 Russian spies with crimes including hacking, identity theft and fraud using crypto-currencies
* British cyber security group accuses Russia's GRU of at least four hacking attacks around the world
* Dutch authorities lift lid on operation to hack chemical weapons HQ in Netherlands in April
* Men were picked up with a cache of computer equipment, linking them to other incidents, and sent home
* US has released wanted poster featuring four Hague hackers and three others linked to anti-doping hacks
* GRU operatives - working under what US identified as Unit 26165 - created fake 'hacktivist' Fancy Bears group
* Russia faces storm of hacking allegations, but denies claims, calling latest evidence 'big fantasies'

Putin's hapless hackers caught red-handed in Holland inadvertently outed more than 300 other agents in their most extraordinary blunder, it was revealed today.

Spy agencies around the world now have a database of hundreds of Russian agents - all because two of the men caught in The Hague had diplomatic passports using their real names and dates of birth.

News agency Bellingcat, who revealed the true identities of the Salisbury assassins, say the two men are both registered as living at the GRU's Military Academy in Moscow.

Alexey Morenets' Lada is also registered at GRU’s cyber warfare department down the road - and investigators say by searching other vehicles registered to the same address they have identified 305 other members of the 26165 unit accused of hacking targets all over world.
