Krebs OnSecurity Threatened with Defamation Lawsuit Over Fake Radaris CEO
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity reported on March 8, 2024 that Radaris, a consumer data broker, was founded by Massachusetts residents Dmitry and Igor Lubarsky, who also operated Russian-language dating and people-search sites. An attorney for the brothers, Valentin Gurvits of the Boston Law Group, demanded retraction and an apology in an April 18 letter and later admitted that the CEO Radaris named from its inception, Gary Norden, was a fabricated identity invented by its marketing division.
Why it matters: Radaris quoted its fictitious CEO Gary Norden in press releases and in a 2014 Boston Business Journal story while seeking $5 million to $7 million from investors, so the people-search reports your organization buys may come from a company that misrepresented its own leadership to the market.
