Russian work services come under direct control of security agencies
According to insiders familiar with confidential negotiations, Russia’s largest corporate platforms such as Bitrix24, Yandex Telemost, and VK Teams have come under the direct control of security forces. Companies agreed to provide access to work-related messages, chats, video sessions, and metadata without notifying users or employers.
The sources emphasize that this is not limited to isolated data requests, but rather a built-in technical capability for constant and rapid access. Security agencies now possess tools to monitor corporate communications at any time of the day, without lengthy procedures. Special attention is paid specifically to work messengers, where internal company matters, finances, conflicts, and political views are discussed.
This development could significantly affect business confidentiality and employee privacy in Russia, with potential for even tighter control and further restrictions on corporate platforms in the future.
As state control over workplace communications intensifies in Russia, the demand for independent and secure alternatives is growing rapidly.
