Η Ρώσικη αστυνομία εισέβαλε σήμερα στα γραφεία της εταιρείας NGINX, Inc. στην Μόσχα. Είναι θυγατρική της F5 Networks και βρίσκεται πίσω από την πιο δημοφιλή τεχνολογία για web servers. Ο εξοπλισμός κατασχέθηκε και οι ορισμένοι υπάλληλοι κρατήθηκαν για ανάκριση.
Moscow police intervened when the Rambler team filed a copyright lawsuit against NGINX Inc., claiming full ownership of the NGINX web server code. Rambler Group is the parent company of rambler.ru, one of Russia's largest search engines and web portals.
According to search warrant copies posted on Twitter today, Rambler alleges that Igor Sysoev developed the NGINX server while working as Admin συστημάτων για την εταιρεία, επομένως η εταιρεία του είναι η νόμιμη ιδιοκτήτρια του project.
Sysoev developed NGINX at the beginning of the 2000 decade and opened the NGINX code at 2004.
2009, founded NGINX, Inc., an American company, to provide tools and support services for the development of NGINX. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, but has offices around the world, including Moscow. The NGINX server source code is free and managed through an open source model.
Sysoev never denied that he developed NGINX while working at Rambler. In an interview with 2012, Sysoev claimed that he developed NGINX in his spare time and that Rambler had not known it for years. He mentioned that the server ran for the first time on Rate.ee and zvuki.ru websites and Rambler only started using it after asking a colleague.
In February of 2019, NGINX finally released Apache HTTPD and became the most widely used server on the Internet. According to Netcraft in December of 2019 h NGINX has a market share that reaches 38%.
One month later, in March of 2019, F5 Networks electronic security and networking company acquired NGINX Inc. for 670 million dollars.
The news of the raid went viral today when a NGINX employee posted a screenshot of the Twitter search warrant. He later deleted the tweet at the request of the Russian police. But the raid was confirmed by other officials.
Ο ίδιος υπάλληλος δήλωσε ότι δύο στελέχη της NGINΧ κρατήθηκαν από την αστυνομία (ο co-founder και σημερινός CTO Igor Sysoev, καθώς και ο συν-founder Maxim Konovalov).
