Vladimir Putin Teams up with Kaspersky to Thwart Google and Facebook Spying - the Final Goal Complete Internet Sovereignty for Russia (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

(N.Morgan) Russian President Vladimir Putin has assigned his best IT and internet security people to the task of coming up with snoop proof and spy proof technology and now one of the those technologies is due for release in the near future.

The Russian security company run by Kaspersky Lab’s co-founder is launching a smartphone that prevents Google and other apps from snooping on users, seeking to capitalize on Russian tensions with the U.S.

The Taiga phone, devised by Moscow-based InfoWatch Group and named after desolated forests in Siberia, runs its own Android-based firmware that allows apps to run on the device but stops them from collecting data.

The phone also has a built-in agent that gives the administrator — such as a corporate IT department — control over what apps will work on the device and what content the user can access or share.

“Most smartphone apps collect certain data on users and send it to outside servers,” said Natalya Kaspersky, head of InfoWatch.

“When people use personal phones at work, their corporate emails, documents and job-related photos come under threat of being — maliciously or accidentally — leaked to third parties.”

InfoWatch is wagering there will be high demand in Russia amid concerns over user data collected by U.S.-based companies such as Google and Facebook.

The first 50,000 Taiga phones, made in China, will be delivered to employees of Russian companies co-owned by the state. Potential markets also include Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, where InfoWatch has opened offices.

Kaspersky co-founded anti-virus producer Kaspersky Lab and ran it before her divorce from partner Eugene Kaspersky.

President Donald Trump recently restricted the use of Kaspersky Lab products by U.S. government entities over the firm’s alleged ties with the Russian government.

Kaspersky now runs her own business and works in a Kremlin-backed working group on information-technology sovereignty.

Vladimir Putin is seeking to reduce Russia’s dependence on companies such as Microsoft Corp. and International Business Machines Corp. amid geopolitical tensions with the United States over Ukraine and Syria.

      Way to go Putin!! Good for you, bringing Russia back to the reverence and homage that it deserves. By the way, I just bought “War and Peace” Can’t wait to read!

    • Pink Slime

      Hello Angle#3,

      Charlie here. You got to be kidding me? A communist phone made by two of the most dirtiest and oppressive governments in the world one can think of is making a secure phone??

      Gimme a doughnut Angle#3. :twisted: :twisted: <- :roll:

      And lemme see, one is making the hardware (famous for counterfeiting chips) and the other is making the software (famous for counterfeiting viruses) and then handing you the phone??

      LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

      Signed,

      Charlie (make that two doughnuts and a Taiga Milk Bar) :lol: :lol:

        For once Pinky, I would have too agree.

        Their is no such thing as a secure phone – internet connection – private E-Mail or anything else Worldwide.

        Anyone posting such non-sense is trying to deceive you and anyone else reading what Morgan wrote.

        N. Morgan – We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people.

        What does anyone think B4IN really is. :lol:

    • 4A7777

      There’s such a thing as not being spied on? I always counted on being as boring and uninteresting as possible.

      • Sean

        I just wanted to Congratulate you on you’re success.

        List all you’re other account names, so I can give you Congrats on those also.

      • 4A7777

        This is the only one I am using currently.

        Let’s see… There was the Admiral’s Corner, QuestIon, Joshua, JWW, and, of course,

        Judas Iscariot.

        I’m sure I left a few out. It’s been a long time you know.

        By the way, I’m an Rh- Anglo-Saxon Methodist. Absolutely nothing interesting about me at all.

        Move along. Nothing to see here. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve signed up for the Red Cross to head to Puerto Rico. I heard there’s Veterans suffering there whom Lord Trump cares nothing about.

    • 2QIK4U

      Hi N.morgan . This is a front story. Kaspersky was working with Gorbachev

      • Wity

        2QIK4U…

        Mnr Putin is a wise old chap and never forget the Ruskies make friends with anybody who
        has anything to offer ~ Even dirty rotten scoundrills….

        Currently doing dirty deals with our regime even though our crowd are 110% corrupt criminals….
        with a 2nd term president who still has to face 783 criminal charges from a crooked arms deal
        with Britain, France, Germany & Italy ~ currently negotiating to buy upgraded Mig 29′s after defaulting
        on a huge nuclear power deal as the said countries population were up in arms over this….

        You see the Ruskies want the Cape sea route…
        Just the other day our regime sold off our entire fuel reserve stocks fora cash loss so as to take control over petrol storage and refinement while sucking off the profits….

        Trump, Putin,Zuma and the G20 also B.R.I.C.S.ALL DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUDRILS

        This can only have one outcome :- WW3 ( Just what the NWO want :- Extreme population reduction and ” No Whites “….

        • 2QIK4U

          Agree. The sleeping bear hAs always sat with the Dragon not eagle. Frenemies. If they get the chance they will jump.

    • Wity

      Ha Pink-o and Equals….

      Long time no hear or see…

      Since becoming pro B.R.I.C. minus black racist Zuma – ANC – Anti- white South Africa…

      We must do what ever it takes to destroy DARPA/GOOGLE/HAARP/NATO/NWO666 ….
      And any Anti-White Regime by any and all means at our disposal !l

      White unite is the only way forward in defeating this Demonic Global world Order!

      Be very careful of Mnr Donald Trumpet and his Commonwealth , EU buddies !

      TRUST NOBODY NOT EVEN PUTIN…

    • Kreidebrei

      In case the phone works well and proofes really spy proof, apple and samsung can pack up.

    • Man

      I don’t get the whole American Putin love.

      Did people forget that, that Putin is against the North Korea Actions of Trump

      • THOTH

        “Putin is against the North Korea actions of Trump.”

        So is everyone else that has a brain in their head…

        • Wity

          Boetie….

          Did you not go to big school and learn real history ???

          Do you Not read / listen to world news ?????

          Putin and China are big buddies aka B.R.I.C.S And Kim Jong Un is China’s wild dog on a lleash!

          Now think back very carefully to probably before you got to play outside….

          WHAT ACTUALLY ENDED THE KOREAN WAR WHICH AMERICA LOST AFTER THE FRENCH HAD THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM JUST LIKE YOU IN YOUR VIETNAM WAR….

          THE CHINESE IMPORTED 900 000 TROOPS TOP KICK YOUR AMERICAN ASS OUT OF KOREA….

          SAME AS YOUR VIETNAM WAR WAS ACTUALLY A WAR AGAINST COMMUNISM AND CHINA….

          big mouth Trump is a ” Fire Starter ” looking for shit with anybody because he has feelings of grandure But Not Looking For Shit With China Just Yet….. Ever Wondered Why ?

          Because he knows China will tear A-Muslim-Mexi-ca A NEW ASSHOLE….

          • THOTH

            Indeed…China could totally ruin America without firing a shot. They could simply refuse to purchase any more US debt, causing the US Fed Res to print that much more currency out of thin air for the government to continue functioning..This would result in hyperinflation, creating a similar effect as was witnessed in Germany-November 1923, when a loaf of bread cost 200,000,000,000 marks…That scenario is inevitable, no matter what China does, but if China refused to purchase US debt, it would certainly hasten the process…In turn, China would stand to lose 200 billion per year in export revenue. So, they’d have to weigh their options and have a backup plan in place..

            We are witnessing the death of an empire, and IMO, the USG is hoping for a major war to blame the coming inevitable collapse on. That way they don’t have to admit that it’s no one’s fault but their own. That’s what happens when you issue trillions and trillions out of thin air with no backing, for more than a century…The fact they’ve dragged the world’s largest ponzi scheme on for so long without it imploding already, is nothing short of amazing.

      • Equalizer

        Man-dolin…Most women don’t and won’t. It requires the mental comprehension of a nationalist leader whom understands and respects working humans/American’s which requires leaders of their country to make decisions based on fact and what is best for the public’s interests. These decisions are perpetuated into decisive actions. NOT treasonous actions (Hitlery Clinton selling uranium to Russia or funneling guns through Benghazi to make million$ of dollars to the “Clinton treason foundation”) Oh yea…by the way…FACT: the Clinton treason foundation pays women 1/2 of what the men are paid. That is why most Americans support and respect Donald J Trump, our “elected president”‘. Plenty of room left for the snowflake loser’s on he Berkeley campus to lick their ANTI-FA wounds and riot on the local hard working class while being paid by George Soros. ANTI-FA are all hot steaming POS socialist scumbags fucs. Have a nice day dumba$$ :wink:

        • Equalizer

          George Soros communist Nazi funds ANTI-FA…these inbred bitches are all hot steaming POS socialist scumbags fucs right there with “Colon Kaperdick”. Have a nice day dumba$$ :wink:

    • Anonymous

      God bless Putin!

    • quisno

      I want one. Im sick and tired of Microsoft, Samsung, NSA, CIA; my information is mine no one else s……………… What is freedom? Freedom is the sum total of freedoms. To be free, under one’s own responsibility, to think and act, to speak and write, to work and trade, to teach and learn, that alone is to be free. Now you know the rest of the story.

    • unidentified

      it looks like they want to pin the blame on facebook for “russian” online politcal advertisements that changed the minds of american voters in favor of trump and blatantly against hillary clinton, facebook is now part of deep state, fully monitored by govt intelligence agencies, thats why it is still a free social media site, facebook makes money from paying advertisers, :mad:
