Questions about Cyprus's Software Oversight in the Oxygen Scandal

October 4, 2026

The scandal involving Oxygen Forensics Inc has raised questions about Cyprus's control over software. The company is alleged to have concealed its true ownership, as American authorities found that its parent company is based in Cyprus and controlled by Russians. Despite concerns, it has not been proven that its software contains malicious code. Experts are calling for an examination of how Cypriot authorities can ensure national security. It remains uncertain whether the company's products were exported through Cyprus.
