BAC Consulting shares the ground floor of the modest building in Budapest with other enterprises. On Wednesday morning, Associated Press journalists saw the names of multiple companies, including BAC, posted on pieces of printer paper and taped in a window.
BAC was authorised "to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC", Gold Apollo said in a statement. "It has one manager registered at its declared address, and the referenced devices have never been in Hungary."
The AP attempted to reach Bársony-Arcidiacono by email and social media sites but received no response. It was not clear what connection, if any, she or BAC had to the attack. She also writes that she is a strategic adviser for major international organisations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and the CARE humanitarian agency, as well as for venture capital firms.
