Buzzfeed is being sued by a Russian tech firm after it published the company owner's name in a report last month on an unverified dossier concerning President Trump, according to a report Friday.

XBT Holdings, a Cyprus-based company owned by Russian tech magnate Aleksej Gubarev, has filed defamation lawsuits against Buzzfeed, its editor-in-chief, Ben Smith, and former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, McClathy reported Friday.

"The dossier included libelous, unverified and untrue allegations regarding XBT, Webzilla and Gubarev. The lawsuits seek yet undetermined compensation for the damages suffered by XBT, Webzilla and Gubarev as the result of the publication of the dossier," according to a statement.

The dossier alleged that XBT and its affiliates worked with the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, "using botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct 'altering operations' against the Democratic Party leadership."

In a statement obtained by McClathy, a Buzzfeed spokesman said, "We have redacted Mr. Gubarev's name from the published dossier, and apologize for including it."

The 35-page dossier purportedly contained details on compromising personal and financial activities conducted by President Trump that are allegedly in Russia's possession, leaving him open to blackmail. Steele, an ex-British intelligence officer who is a director of Orbis Business Intelligence, a London-based private security firm, prepared the dossier.

Buzzfeed was widely condemned for publishing a document in which there were unverified sections and errors.

Trump called BuzzFeed News a "failing pile of garbage" after they released the information.
