Cloudflare Removes Spyware Label From Messenger

Silver Rain Moscow 14d13d Impact 8

Cloudflare has flagged the state-owned Max messenger as a spying application. Max reportedly undergoes regular security audits and maintains its own cybersecurity center. Cybersecurity expert Alex Gorelkin stated that the app's behavior involves requests to various IP addresses and domains. Gorelkin noted that the spyware designation may be temporary and is unlikely to impact the app's core functionality. The American hosting provider Cloudflare flagged the domain Damianmax.ru as spyware on Thursday. An American company has flagged the website Damianmax.ru as spyware, according to Alexei Gorelkin, the general director of Fishman. The report was discussed on Business FM Russia. Max Messenger already faces connectivity issues outside of Russia, often requiring a VPN to function.
