Russian Web Firms

Users in Russia are being given free access to virtual private networks (VPNs) as part of a US-backed campaign to help them dodge Moscow’s anti-censorship software. The Open Technology Fund is said to be paying out money to firms like Psiphon and nthLink which have provided VPN access to an estimated four million users in Russia.

Suspected Russian hackers accessed the systems of a US internet provider and a county government in Arizona, US, as part of a sprawling cyber-espionage campaign disclosed this week, according to an analysis of publicly-available Web records.

A new exploited vulnerability in Google Chrome web browser called "CVE-2019-13720", which is a zero-day vulnerability, has been spotted by Russian cyber-security firm Kaspersky.

Ukraine imposed sanctions on Russia's largest internet group Yandex and other popular online firms on Tuesday, saying it wanted to guard against cyber attacks, and the Kremlin threatened retaliation.
