- Dolores12 10y agoIt's another FUD. Keep in mind that Kaspersky lab have found EQUATION Group, no one else could.
- at-fates-hands 10y agoHow many Russian state sponsored hacking teams have they uncovered?
- Demiurge 10y agoHow many Russian state sponsored hacking teams have Symantec uncovered? They didn't even assign any specific state to the hacking teams, it can only be assumed from the targets. The fact that anyone spends time and publishes such findings is commendable, and is more than I have seen from other companies. PS. Perhaps I just missed some publications, so I would welcome any links.
- Dolores12 10y agoI see 2 options: 1) there is none 2) they are too good at hiding
- nickpsecurity 10y agoOr option 3 they covered it up for their Russian buddies like the U.S. firms probably covered up Equation Group. This should be the default assumptions in what are essentially police states with surveillance and hacking prone intelligence services + ability to gag, bribe, or destroy commercial vendors. Best not to trust any of them in general and especially not trust them to turn on their domestic, intelligence services.
- Dolores12 10y agoWhats the problem for Norton, Symantec, Mcafee to find them and do nice research paper for everyone to read?
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI just said the problem.
