Moscow metro Wi-Fi provider requests investigation into alleged terror threats

The company that provides free wireless Internet on the Moscow metro has asked law-enforcement agencies to look into users’ complaints that they were being redirected to a page with threats of terror attacks in the Russian capital when trying to use the Wi-Fi service, the TASS news agency reported Tuesday.

Some subway passengers trying to connect to Maxima Telecom’s wireless service were allegedly redirected to a page with threats by Islamic State — a terrorist organization banned in Russia — instead of the online provider’s login page, a spokesperson for the company said, TASS reported.
