Roshen Confectionery Corporation has warned its customers and other users of e-mail and the Internet on the distribution by unknown persons of emails with dangerous viruses using the name of the company.

"Roshen is outraged by this fact and makes every effort to eliminate the threat immediately," the corporation said.

The press service of the corporation told Interfax-Ukraine that the corporation had appealed to the cyber police asking to investigate the actions of intruders and believes that they are the continuation of an information war against the company.

The owners of Roshen are Petro Poroshenko, who for the time of his presidency transferred his 85% stake to Rothschild Trust "blind" trust, CEO Viacheslav Moskalevsky with 13% and four corporate managers who own 0.5% each.
