Russia Arrests Top Kaspersky Lab Security Researcher On Charges of Treason (bleepingcomputer.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer: Russian authorities arrested Ruslan Stoyanov, one of Kaspersky Lab's top-ranked security researchers, under article 275 of the Russian criminal code, which refers to treason. According to Russian newspaper Kommersant, who broke the story today, Stoyanov was arrested in December, together with the head of the Russian Secret Service (FSB) information security department Sergei Mikhailov. In a statement released today by Kaspersky Lab, the company says that Stoyanov was arrested based on activities he partook in before joining the company. Details regarding the investigation are murky, but according to the Russian newspaper who quotes anonymous sources, Stoyanov was involved in facilitating the transfer of funds from foreign companies to Mikhailov's accounts. According to Stoyanov's LinkedIn account, before serving as Head of the Computer Incidents Investigation Team at Kaspersky, he worked as Deputy Director for a company called Indrik, but also as a Major in the Ministry of Interior's Cyber Crime Unit.
We'll Putin a good word fr them here as well.
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
He probably said something offensive about Trump. That's grounds for execution in mother Russia.
So they were behind the US hacks...
This is an example of the growing problem of government security agencies contracting out services to corporations. Those corporations will always use those associations between individuals built by the contact associated with those contracts to specifically and on purpose corrupt those government officials and agents they work with to serve the short term interests of the corporations and especially the executive teams of those corporations, regardless of the short, medium or long term interests of the country (in fact in crazed risk taking they are more than content to risk the future of the country as whole). So were they spying for foreign government agencies or a multinational corporations with it's corrupt hooks in many countries. The over sized multi-national corporation represent a far greater threat than most other countries, far greater, with objectives like war for war profits sake being by far the greatest threat versus say the somewhat lessor threat of corrupt economic policy designed to impoverish the majority and empower the minority, one power the specifically seek is the power of life or death over others, the thrill kill upon a mass scale.
Government security agencies contract out at the peril of their country and only promote it as a result of in place corruption and corrupt associations, much like the NATO school, where corrupt corporations seek out corrupt individuals in government to promote into higher and higher places of authority to promote the profits of the corporations and as many need to die as need to die in order to maximise the power of those corporate executives (keep in mind we are talking the murder of millions in fake wars constructed in corporate boardrooms).
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
Edward Snowden early on became employeed by Kaspersky Lab.
This is the reason, 5-years early, that Edward Snowden is seeking asylum in Iceland, and quick!

... this guy has tapes of Putin peeing on Trump.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
From the article looks like he may have helped 'laundered' money for someone, maybe a rival of Putin ? Wonder how much easier/harder laundering in Russia will become in today's climate ?
I told you, read the pee memos, it quotes known FSB spies, those names were covered with code letters in the memos, Source E confirmed they were behind the hacking etc.. Once Trump got to power he has access to the full list of USA spies in Russia, so Source E can be arrested for espionage.

I told you what would happen. Trump's obviously told the Russians who those spies really are. And Russia will get access to every spy's name, every IT backdoor NSA put in, every secret key, every zero-day exploit now. Courtesy of their squeeler man Trump.
Trump is a stupid bitch. Only his supporters are less intelligent than he is.
It's a stock Putin trick:

" Last Thursday, Sergei Magnitsky was convicted of tax evasion. The only problem was he was not there to hear the verdict read. Magnitsky was killed in Moscow's Butyrka prison in 2009, likely as a result of beatings and a lack of medical treatment. His crime was uncovering a $230 million tax fraud involving members of the government while working as a lawyer for William Browder (an American investor who was also convicted in absentia)."
"But Magnitsky's conviction is not simply an example of the capricious nature of the legal system in Russia; it is a view into how the use of money laundering, financial laws, and Russia's financial intelligence unit are used to control political dissent. "
EXPECT A LOT MORE.
Trump has access to ALL the names of CIA spies in Russia names and their details. So you can expect him to obtain those names, and hand them over to Putin in exchange for personal leverage. These two will just be the two sources quoted in the pee memos. Those source the CIA and MI6 considered reliable known agents will only be the first.
Likewise his GOP and Democrat opponents can expect an increase in domestic surveillance of their activities, from Trump aparchniks (go look it up, nothing is new, Russia took over democracies before exactly the same way). There was a very good reason we put in the checks and balances on surveillance, and this is it. You can't have a President with access to a spying machine outside of the USA law (the FSB), and domestic spying machine with minimal checks and balances, in the Oval Office (NSA), and have the ability to block defence of US cyberspace from Russian attack.
He used Russian hackers, and Russian botnet programmers for the last election, he'll use them for the next election. And he'll have the power to block the government from defending the election or investigating the hacks.
He's SOURCE B, read the memo's, he fits the description.
page 1: "Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016, sources A and B, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure and former top level Russian Intelligence Officer".
Source B will be the Kaspersky man arrested.

Page 2. "The Moscow Ritz Carlton episode involving TRUMP reported above was confirmed by Source E..."
Source E, is FSB man, known to CIA and MI6 and considered reliable, so he will be Sergei Mikhailov who was arrested.
Source F was a hotel staffer who confirmed it, so you'll see people having accidents at the Ritz Carlton soon enough.
Source D is an associate of Trump's, if he's Russian, he'll be found dead, if he's American, well, Putin has killed opponents with polonium poisoning in the UK, so I don't think the USA if off bounds now with Trump in power.
Source A, the Russian Foreign Office official whose a CIA spy, hasn't yet been arrested, but I'm guessing he'll be found dead too.
Trump men will have gone into the CIA and asked for the names of these people, then provided those names by his backchannel to Putin to be fixed. That is what we're seeing now. This is the currency they've been using in exchange for Putin's help with the elections. Trump spies for them, mostly on Oligarchs (think hidden cameras in hotel rooms), and they helped him get into the office. Now he has access to all that intelligence, he can barter that too in exchange for further help securing power, and undermining opponents.
If you read the intelligence memo that accuses Trump of working with the FSB to win the election.
Ruslan Stoyanov fits SOURCE B, read the memo's:.
page 1: "Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016, sources A and B, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure and former top level Russian Intelligence Officer".
Source B will be the Kaspersky man arrested, ex top level intelligence officer arrested shortly after Trump's inauguration, when Trump gets access to the names of spies that America has in Russia.

If you remember Trump's comments to Richard Brandson: "Donald Trump told Richard Branson during their first encounter that he would spend the remainder of his life trying to destroy five people he had asked to no avail to aid him after his latest bankruptcy.". Trump is all about revenge and attack anyone who isn't 100% on Trump message.
Do you think Trump wouldn't immediately take steps to attack the spies who leaked details of his piss sex sessions to the CIA? Of course he would. He'll have obtained the names of these sources from the CIA (they are known reliable spies for the CIA), and he'll have passed those to Putin by his co-operation back-channel.
So it's no surprise to see an FSB agent and a former intelligence man arrested immediately after Trump takes office and gains access to intelligence names.
I guess he'll be sent to the labor camps and spend the rest of his days being tortured and overworked with no food.
trump is a distraction. there is not a corner of the internet where he isn't brought up no matter what's being discussed.
Those intelligence memos were from a known reliable analyst quoting known reliable Russia spy sources. The memos cited two way cooperation between Trump camp (via Manafort and Carter Page) and Putin's FSB for mutual gain.
I don't know where you get the 'insane conspiracy theory' stuff from, this is Occam Razor, as soon as Trump takes power, and put his operatives into the CIA, people fitting the descriptions of sources for the Trump memo are arrested in Russia.
Motive, opportunity, means, a pattern of revenge, a loyal defender of Putin, a vigorous attacker of, well, CIA, Democrats, Republicans, Washington insiders. Can you imagine any case where Trump has the names of his accusers and a means to get back at them, and doesn't take it? So of course he's a traitor.
As the steganographic comment "wait til they get a load of this" in the recent virus signatures suggests....
But, but, but ....
What about the emails !?!?!?
John, your former country needs YOU now more than ever! Only YOU can defeat Trump with his own tenuous grip on reality.
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Are all the Russian astroturfers taking the a day off? From pushing Putin's agenda on slashdot?
That is true!! the only way to survive to trump is to play the John McAfee card. Only he can nullify any shit content coming out from Trump mouth/tweets.
Please John, replace someone in the senate/congress and reset Trump
Higuita
Oh Crap!
