Multi-billion dollar companies protest Ukraine invasion, leaving Russians more vulnerable to cybercrime.
A protester holds a placard reading"Putin - No!" during an opposition rally in central Moscow, on March 10, 2019, to demand internet freedom in Russia. With internet and cybersecurity companies exiting the company, the web could be about to get far less open and secure in Russia than it was before the Ukraine invasion. Ordinary Russians face another major blow to their everyday lives due to the backlash to President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Vlcek said the company was including Belarus in the withdrawal of services, and was continuing to pay the full salaries of employees in Russia and Ukraine, many of whom it was helping to relocate. In Russia, where fears of cybercrime and repressive surveillance are rife, the ramifications of DigiCert’s withdrawal could be huge. That Russia isworking on creating its own digital signature entity won’t allay concerns over surveillance, given it’ll be under the control of the Kremlin.
