The kidnappers made their demands in a telephone conversation with his father, who co-owns the company producing the well known computer and network security software "Kaspersky Lab". For now, Kasperskys spokesman did not confirm this information. How writes Interfax news agency the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs examines case.





The Russian edition of Forbes magazine estimated the fortune of Yevgeny Kaspersky at $800 million.


Computer and network security company "Kaspersky Lab" works with special services of Russia, the United States, European Union countries and China, providing them with information that can help prevent the theft on a large scale, as well as theft of confidential information. Besides, the company provides network security solutions together with computer security to business and home users

    I read about this on the news. It's fucked up how people can take a child away and ask for money for a safe return. You know they're going to keep the kid in such poor conditions and treat him so badly that it'll cause some level of mental damage

    These things make me sad. They just make innocent people suffer and then end up on jail (hopefully).

    I hope the perpetrators don't get away with it. But I think getting his son back safely is priority number 1.

    Didn't realise that hes got 800 millions. I would pay the ransom if I was sitting on that much money.
