An audit of socialbites.ca showed that the information websites of automakers Porsche and Seat, which are part of the Volkswagen Group concern, have become inaccessible in Russia. Experts believe that access is restricted by the car companies themselves or by Western Internet service providers.
We’re talking about sites like newsroom.porsche.com, press.porsche.com, seat-mediacenter.com, and other automaker portals with German and British domains. Russian users can now only access them using a VPN. At the same time, other relevant sites presenting the model range of cars are still opening from Russia.
Site administrators or providers can restrict access to Volkswagen Group portals, according to Artem Myshenkov, security engineer at a hosting provider and REG.RU domain registrar.
“On Porsche websites, the blocking is on the web server side (error 403). On Seat company sites, the blocking is probably on the side of the DNS server that stores information about these domains. The administrator of the site or DNS server can enable blocking. This can also be done by the provider at the location of the DNS server,” he said. explained Myshenkov.
Earlier it was learned that Porsche AG will sell all Russian assets with the right to buy back within five years at the latest. In this respect says In the annual report of the company reviewed by socialbites.ca.
