I'm more than ready for this Russian hacking sensationalism to wind down. This is a conspiracy theory that's approaching the same level of ridiculousness as the one surrounding Obama's birth certificate; we have this entirely unfounded claim that two unidentified, unfathomably sophisticated attackers have somehow been positively linked to the FSB through unspecified, "magic" means, and that the usage generic tools/software originated in and used throughout Eastern Europe is somehow concrete "proof" of this. I could also posit that the Russian interference was orchestrated by Vince McMahon, and it's been him all along. Until intelligence agencies present an actual smoking gun, all we have is a lot of smoke and mirrors. I would be fine with the nutters carrying on with this conspiracy theory (more concern for national security and voter verification is not a bad thing, although these same nutters are generally only advocates for these things when Trump is involved), but blind "Red Scare" type FUD is not the right approach. Kaspersky has offered complete access to the source code of its products for use in a clean build process controlled by the US government. This is not a winning strategy if your company's endgame is to infiltrate US government systems.
