  • MyOffice closes St. Petersburg and Innopolis development centers, moving remaining staff into Kaspersky Lab's Moscow office after restructuring
  • Parent company New Cloud Technologies restated its 2025 accounts in June 2026, raising the net loss from 4.02 billion to 8.82 billion rubles, roughly $107 million, while revenue halved to about 1 billion rubles
  • Kaspersky Lab, which owns 68.8%, has moved the asset to "slow burn" mode, with its CEO saying publicly that import substitution does not work in the office segment
