Russia can completely perish without smartphones
The president of the InfoWatch group of companies, Natalia Kasperskaya, said in an interview on television that all smartphones using not only the iPhone, but also Android are available in Russia.
“Everything that works on Android. Don’t be so happy! All smartphones on the territory of the Russian Federation can hypothetically be turned off. This is one of those threats we are talking about. This is just cyberwar! All Android devices can be turned off“Kasperskaya said.
“The most successful option for our country is import substitution” she added.
At the same time, Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, received charges from Kaspersky. According to him, everything is not so simple.
“There is a difficulty with turning off Android, and I have written about this many times (from Apple, this is one switch). But the most important thing is that even the planes were not turned off for us, and this was much easier to do. Disabling smartphones is not just an act of war, it is a de facto urgent cause of the threat of a strike, and everything perfectly ensures this. Therefore, “hypothetically” does not work here in any way. The remainder of this event is small. Why Natalya Kasperskaya creates insurance is understandable, the success of her business depends on it. But it doesn’t look good“, – said the expert.
Earlier it was reported that a mobile version of the Astra public system appeared in Russia.
