WADA claims hackers leaked fake data on Olympics athletes

The information on the Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), provided by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), was modified by hacking group named Fancy Bears before they leaked on the web, WADA Medical Director Alan Vernec has said.

Since September 13, the Fancy Bears hacking collective leaked at least six batches of WADA confidential medical records, including TUE, reports Sputnik.
