Not sure why they'd need a cover story for not having big leaks. It's not like US intentionally leaks things either. Anybody is free to try and hack their systems just the same way people hack US ones.
- SXX 10y agoWhile it's not some magical spy software during few last years there was plenty of leaks from inside the government and recent arrests was covered pretty well by western press: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-30/how-russian-hackers-became-a-kremlin-headache https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-30/how-russi... Leaks include president Medvedev personal email and his secretary email, then Vladislav Surkov secretary emails and multiple entrepreneurs related to Kremlin. Though I doubt there was a lot of interest to them outside of Russia.
