The documents were cited by the UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to attack Prime Minister Boris Johnson over a planned US trade deal.
Reddit has said that documents containing confidential details of discussions between the US and UK about a post-Brexit trade deal were likely leaked onto the platform by Russia.
Reddit said the cluster of accounts"provides us with important attribution for the recent posting of the leaked UK documents, as well as insights into how adversaries are adapting their tactics". The status of the NHS is one of the hot button topics in the UK general election, which will be held on December 12.
According to Reddit, the documents were originally posted by an account called u/gregoriator in October, initially attracting little attention.
