No shit. This isn't really news, as a few others point out that companies generally tend to work with their respective country's government. You won't see Kaspersky AV on a US government workstation and you won't see McAfee on any of their workstations for example.
- Bartweiss 9y agoThe real news here, the part that makes the US government care, is "As many as 200 million [people] may not know [they use Kaspersky]." Businessweek buried the lede (potentially-compromised firmware in devices you don't realize carry it) behind the blatantly-obvious (AV companies are not government-independent). Well, that and Kaspersky may have been lying about what connections they do have, but frankly that's not surprising either.
