I would like to point out that a russian security company almost certainly has ties with the russian government. Particularly a very large, well respected one. It would be like accusing oracle or amazon of having ties with the US government.
- varjag 6y agoKaspersky himself is a 1987 KGB school alumni. The naïveté of Westerners is sometimes astonishing.
- caeril 6y agoThis is a very good point, and stands in stark contrast with no management or employees of FireEye or CrowdStrike ever being associated with FVEY intelligence services. Nope, it's ONLY the evil Russians. The naïveté of non-Westerners is sometimes astonishing.
- varjag 6y agoKaspersky is the ever-presiding CEO and the founder of the company. Was CrowdStrike founded by a CIA alumni? And I hope you realize your whole retort amounts to "Kaspersky is as bad as CIA shell companies".
- parineum 6y agoThe "well respected" part of that has partly to do with no evidence of them being partial. If they were known as a kremlin puppet, they wouldn't be respected.
- fallingknife 6y agoOk you're right. I didn't know they were based in moscow. I tend to dismiss "The Russians" claim out of hand now.
