Well, this never gets old. He is a fugitive from injustice. He has already left his London location? Perhaps he can't even share his next-to-last residence's location, even after he's left that, for fear of leaving behind clues.

You rock, Mr. Wosar. Please stay in touch.

Fabian should be awarded a medal for his efforts. This is really disrupting these cyber bums

The most respectful man in the industry!
I really admire his great work and his responses to the consumers on Emsisoft forum despite all of the work
Stay safe and keep on your perfect work Fabian!

I think Fabian is one of the reasons why emisi is highly rated in MT. And above all, he is a great member.

 

[bribon77]

I have only to applaud this great man.

It says lots about Fabian & Emsisoft & his & their ethics & values, when they say thy don't sell your data it's most likely very true - Counts a lot to me

I'm proud of you, @Fabian Wosar.

It's just sad that you have to hide because of your notoriety against the criminals.

That's a rather old article actually. I noticed quite a few people referencing it again, so I wonder if it maybe was republished or mentioned anywhere. Anyway, I still live in London, although in a different part of it. I can have pets now and was going to pick up a doggy, but when I did look for one I more or less ended up with two little rescue kitties instead.

They make sure I don't work too much by being adorable:

I did have to cancel a conference to rehome them though. So I didn't get to go to the FBI's ransomware summit in Pittsburgh last year. But oh well. My two little girls were worth it.

It was republished on the main BBC news page as a highlight of the year BTW

Do you have a link or screenshot of that? Can't seem to find it.

That's a screenshot of the article. I meant a screenshot of the main page where it was listed because it isn't for me at the moment (London).

It's no longer on the main page, & I didn't screenshot it when it was, I think it was only on for one day, I'm in UK too - Sorry for misunderstanding .

 

[Fabian Wosar]

That's fine. Thanks for checking
