Russian surveillance company

Russian tech surveillance company infiltrated Europe's law enforcement agencies, per a new report. The same technology used by Western police was allegedly being developed in Russia and sold to Russian security services. The findings have raised alarms about how deeply Russian-made surveillance tools reached into European policing and the security risks that creates.

A Politico report says a Russian technology company linked to surveillance has infiltrated law enforcement agencies across Europe, prompting concern over dependence on foreign software. Commenters argue that open source is the only real guarantee of digital sovereignty, saying European police and governments cannot trust proprietary tools tied to hostile states and should instead rely on transparent, publicly auditable software.
