Head Of Investigations At Russia's Biggest Cybersecurity Firm Arrested For Treason

In what may be the latest fallout from the cold cyberwar taking place between the US and Russia, the head of the investigation unit, and one of the most important cybercrime experts at Kaspersky Lab, Russia's biggest cybersecurity firm, was been arrested on charges of treason. Stoyanov was involved in every big anti-cybercrime operation in Russia in past years, including the one against the components of the Lurk cybercrime gang.

Kaspersky Lab confirmed to AP reports in Russia's Kommersant newspaper that Ruslan Stoyanov, head of its computer incidents investigations unit, was arrested in December.

"A Russia-based information security source told FORBES the details of the case were likely to remain private. The case has been filed under article 275 of Russia’s criminal code, the source said, meaning it should result in a secret military tribunal. Article 275 allows the government to prosecute when an individual provides assistance to a foreign state or organization regarding “hostile activities to the detriment of the external security of the Russian Federation” (translation from source). According to the source, this can be applied broadly. For instance, furnishing the FBI with information on a botnet may amount to treason."

While Ruslan Stoyanov was working for the Russian government, he was the lead investigator into a hacker crew that extorted $4 million to U.K. betting shops under the DDoS threat.

Meanwhile Andrei Soldatov, who has studied the internet and Russian security services for more than a decade, called the arrest of the Kaspersky manager "unprecedented."

"It destroys a system that has been 20 years in the making, the system of relations between intelligence agencies and companies like Kaspersky," he told The Associated Press. "Intelligence agencies used to ask for Kaspersky's advice, and this is how informal ties were built. This romance is clearly over."

While Kaspersky has published research damaging to Russian hacking operations, Eugene Kaspersky is known to have held a friendly relationship with the Russian government.  The company has a strong international presence, including antivirus research facilities inside the United States.

It remains unclear if today's arrest has any connection to the "Russian election hacking" scandal that brought US-Russian relations to a halt in the last days of the Obama administration.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 review: The one to beat

Kaspersky’s 2016 suite topped our list with its flawless performance in independent malware protection tests – and the 2017 edition carries on the good work. In the most recent round of testing by AV-Test.org, Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 achieved a perfect 100% protection score – not only against prevalent malware, but also against two months’ worth of never-before-seen “zero-day” exploits. All without triggering a single false positive. Impressive stuff.
Impressive stuff. eto.

Kaspersky Lab says India is at risk of security attacks because of poorly secured infrastructure

There is a rise in the number of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in India and it will not stop as most of the sectors are poorly protected, a top executive from the global internet security giant Kaspersky lab said here on Wednesday. After the demonetisation move, the drive to digitisation has accelerated, bringing to the fore the concerns for cybersecurity and the level of risk remains the same everywhere and for every sector, said Vicente Diaz, Principal Security Analyst at Kaspersky lab.

“Poorly secured Industrial Cybersecurity Solutions (ICS) is nothing new but now attacking them provides direct benefit to the hackers. There will be more attacks in ICS sector,” Diaz told reporters here. He added that Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) had learnt from mistakes and now their deployment would be more silent in those poorly monitored systems. APT usually refers to a group, such as a government, with both the capability and the intent to target, persistently and effectively, a specific entity.
