Editor-in-chief of Ratel.kz Marat Asipov: "It endangers national security!"

22 june 2022

Journalist Asem Zhapisheva reported that unknown persons copied the websites of Ratel.kz, Nur.kz, InBusiness.kz and NewTimes.kz. The fake websites have the same design as the original ones, most of the articles are the same, and the domain names differ by only one letter.

All four fake websites are registered to a certain Vladimir Korablev, located at the Belgorod region, the city of Belgorod, but the country is indicated as Ukraine not Russia, where Belgorod is situated.  The  phone number is Russian as well.

After the fake websites were reported, the head of hoster.kz Denis Sukhachev cut them off.

The heads of Ratel.kz believed that it endangers the national security and applied to the police with a request to investigate this incident.
