Russia Declares War on Cybersecurity: Recorded Future’s “Undesirable” Status Unveiled

Recorded Future, dubbed “undesirable” by Russia, is now in the exclusive club of banned Western NGOs. Allegedly aiding Western propaganda and Ukraine, the company was ironically complimented by its CEO, who sees this as a rare honor. Mastercard must be thrilled with their $2.65 billion investment in a now-forbidden fruit!

  • This label effectively bans the company’s operations in Russia.
  • Russia accuses Recorded Future of aiding Western propaganda and Ukraine.
