Remember the 🇩🇪 IT company @janboehm revealed is a russian company founded by an ex-KGB agent? I spoke w/ cybersecurity experts about it & yes, it gets worse.
The investigation revealed "German" IT company #Protelion is in fact a cover entity of the RUSSIAN company #Infotecs, founded in 1991 by ex-KGB officer Andrey Chapchaev. Andrey received an Order for Merit to the Fatherland this year from: Vladimir Putin. Can't imagine what for.
Protelion had opportunity to compromise every company that used their software & give Moscow access to their network
Protelion/Infotecs sold software in 🇩🇪 for yrs that scans IT networks for vulnerabilities *from the inside*. That means:"- They could report vulnerabilities to russia
- Bc the software is installed by the admin they'd be able to plant other software & time bombs in the network
That means **any of the 1M+ companies that have used Infotecs/Protelion software may be potentially spied on & compromised by russia*
Perhaps I am too dumb. ORAC, but I have no idea what you wish to convey. Is it too secret ? Too hidden ? Please do tell us when you feel it it is is necessary.
