At the G20 summit, Russia gave diplomats flash drives with "bookmarks"
Such headlines were full of the largest Italian media recently, including Corriere della Sera and La Stampa.
According to the press, in flash drives, USB hubs and other electronic souvenirs, which were presented to diplomats and businessmen at the September G20 summit in St. Petersburg, hardware bookmarks were found. Details about the types of bookmarks and their work are practically not communicated, it is only known that they are able to read data from computers and smartphones (perhaps, including this principle was used).
The devices were checked by the German secret services at the request of the President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, and, allegedly, the devices were passed for examination a few days after the end of the summit, and the results became known only now.

The Russian side denied all the allegations, a spokesman for the president of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the situation, saying that, in his opinion, these articles are custom-made and written to divert public attention from the problem of US espionage over European countries.
