Earlier this week, several news outlets reported that the 20-year-old son of Kaspersky Lab CEO, Eugene Kaspersky, had gone missing, with kidnappers reportedly demanding €3m (about US$4.4) for his release. Russian news outlets incorrectly reported on Friday that the younger Kaspersky was returned after a ransom was paid. It turns out that Ivan Kaspersky has been, in fact, been returned safely, but according to an official statement from Kaspersky, no ransom was paid.
