2022: Flashpoint Enterprise Platform Purchase Plan

The US Treasury is purchasing specialized software to search the darknet in Russian. This became known on May 17, 2022.

According to Yevgeny Yushchuk, a member of the International Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals, this "invisible" communications system will allow the States to leave loopholes to circumvent their own sanctions.

According to US government procurement documents, the department's financial intelligence unit plans to buy the Flashpoint Enterprise Platform product.

One of the priority functional features of the software in the description of the tender is the possibility of searching and analyzing data from forums, from social networks, from sites for publishing source code and other online channels in Russian.

When trying to access the website of the software supplier - EJ2 Communications - users from Russia, access to the site is blocked precisely in connection with the geographical affiliation[1].
