The NYT article reminds me of that terrible Bloomberg article on Supermicro hardware being backdoored. Nice to see that Jetbrains have a response out quickly :)

This is a situation where there is nothing Jetbrains can say to totally remove doubt given the link to Russia. It is akin to the famous question: "Do you still beat your wife?"

I certainly hope they don't [beat their wife]... I love Jetbrains software.

I think making these claims against Jetbrains without firm proof, proof that is disclosed, is poor behavior. I expect that this will turn out to be a false story and if it is, I hope the NYT pays for it financially.

"Officials are investigating whether the company, founded by three Russian engineers in the Czech Republic with research labs in Russia, was breached and used as a pathway for hackers to insert back doors"

The claim is that intelligence agencies are investigating. Unless that's a total fabrication, there would be no basis for any kind of suit.
