Russian devs alleged to have built tools for US agencies as software from same op was sold to Moscow's security servicesThe RegisterCarly Page24 Sept 2026US defense and homeland security agencies bought digital forensics software developed by the same Russian operation that also sold its wares to the FSB, according to US prosecutors.The Department of Justice says Oxygen Forensics CEO Lee Reiber and Russian national Oleg Sergeyevich Davydov have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud over an alleged scheme to hide the company's Russian ownership and where its software was actually being built.Oxygen Forensics, based in Virginia, sold digital forensics tools to the US Department of War and several Department of Homeland Security components, including Homeland Security Investigations, the DHS Office of Inspector General, and the Secret Service's National Computer Forensics Institute (NCFI).Prosecutors allege Oxygen presented itself to Uncle Sam as an independent US company, when it was actually owned and controlled by five Russian nationals through a Cyprus-based holding company.
Maybe if Trump and Company didn't fire all those people in the intelligence agencies they might have found that out!
