- donohoe 2y agoCall me paranoid but seems like if Kaspersky is indeed dodgy this would be a great way to get as much info/access as possible on the way out.
- downrightmike 2y agoAgreed, AV has full access to your system and can take whatever they want and you'd never know.
- upon_drumhead 2y ago> Embattled Russian infosec shop Kaspersky is giving US customers six months of security updates for free > prevent it from distributing software updates and malware signatures to existing Stateside users after September 29. I don't understand how the 6 months updates will work if they're prevented from updating the software after September 29.
- nebula8804 2y agoKaspersky is a really talented group. Their talk at CCC about discovering a zero-click attack, managing to capture all the stages of the attack, finding four zero day vulnerabilities and discovering a previously unknown spyware that was there for years was a rollercoaster of a ride. If you have the time to watch it I highly recommend it! [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f6YyH62jFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f6YyH62jFE
