Malicious updates for Asus laptops – Kaspersky Lab official blog
- empath75 8y agoThe targeted nature of it screams ‘state actor’ Even if Kaspersky is somehow working with Russian intelligence, it’s a good thing that there are groups out there willing to call shenanigans on US-aligned intelligence operations.
- j0ba 8y agoASUS is a Taiwanese company. Wouldn't be surprised if China is behind this.
- bowties2cool 8y agoThis statement is ridiculous. If you state that since ASUS does a lot of its manufacturing in mainland China, then maybe I can get behind you. The original statement simply reveals your complete lack of geopolitical common sense.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoIt's hard to guess who could be behind this or really anything about it without a world map portraying the rough geographic distribution of devices.
- codedokode 8y agoKaspersky has the MAC address list so they probably know who was the target.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoThat's what I mean. They may not have installations on all the MACs in the list, but they certainly know the whereabouts of the intersection of the two and would be able to provide the map I was referring to.
- codedokode 8y agoThis is a good reminder that you better disable auto-updates if you don't want to become auto-backdoored.
