I don't understand the Apple's reasoning. Keeping Kaspersky on side ought to be top priority for next time it happens the info might not be so forthcoming. Apple could easily dispose of the money in ways that showed it would pay if it could. And, to Apple, the amount isn't even small change.
- everforward 2y agoApple runs on PR and it would be very easy to lose control of the narrative. It’s a touchy subject and the nuance here revolves around things the average news consumer probably lacks context on. There’s a very real chance that headlines of the variety “Apple makes donation to charity to pay Russian hackers” float around. It’s not even wrong (though it lacks a lot of context). I’m doubtful Kaspersky is even that mad about it; they knew they weren’t getting paid at the outset.
