Kaspersky Lab has never been asked by Russian intelligence services to spy on targets in the West, the company’s founder and the chief executive said. Eugene Kaspersky told reporters at a media briefing at the company’s offices in London that “they have never asked us to spy on people. Never.” He added he would move his Moscow-based company out of the country if he ever faced such a demand, Reuters reports. “If the Russian government comes to me and asks me to anything wrong, or my employees, I will move the business out of Russia,” Kaspersky said. He said the company was under attack by the US media and the US government.
