A New York networking company, Ubiquiti Inc., is facing a lawsuit from Ukrainian civilians claiming the firm's wireless equipment helped Russian drone crews hunt civilians in Kherson. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 11, alleges Ubiquiti's radios enabled signals to travel 100 kilometers, becoming the backbone of Russia's command network against Ukrainian civilians.
The case draws attention to the company's failure to prevent its devices from being used in dangerous ways, despite US export controls and evidence of their use in occupied Ukrainian territory. The plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial and are alleging negligent entrustment, public nuisance, and strict products liability.
