Even if Kaspersky itself resisted such cooperation, Giles said, “individual employees of the company in Russia can be subverted with great ease.” A receptionist at the Wharf T&T Centre in Hong Kong, the address Lambert claimed to work from, told an AP reporter that the company was not listed in the building’s directory. The management at Tokyo’s Nishi Shinjuku-Takagi Building, where Lambert also claimed to have an office, said they found no trace of the firm.
“Whoever created the NPH Investments identity was drawing from the same playbook,” Scott-Railton said. Meanwhile, the U.S. cybersecurity expert that Giles recommended had also met Lambert, sitting down at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York on May 31. There, and at a second meeting with the expert on July 10, Lambert also touched on criticisms of Kaspersky.
