Remember the 🇩🇪 IT company @janboehm revealed is a russian company founded by an ex-KGB agent? I spoke w/ cybersecurity experts about it & yes, it gets worse.
🚨 #Protelion had opportunity to compromise every company that used their software & give Moscow access to their network
Protelion/Infotecs sold software in 🇩🇪 for yrs that scans IT networks for vulnerabilities *from the inside*. That means:
❗️ They could report vulnerabilities to russia
‼️ Bc the software is installed by the admin they'd be able to plant other software & time bombs in the network
That means **any of the 1M+ companies that have used Infotecs/Protelion software may be potentially spied on & compromised by russia**
