The article compares government cooperation of US-based Symantec with Kaspersky, bringing up Symantec pursuing Stuxnet and saying "It’s hard to find a similar case of Kaspersky and the Kremlin working at cross-purposes."
I'm curious, is there anything apart from the cited December 2011 DDoS that supports this claim?
- lobotryas 14y agoA quick Google and Wiki search reveals zero strong leads. Some unfortunate statements were made[0] and seven years ago a researcher called Symantec's and Kaspersky's software "rootkits"[1]. Otherwise: silence and smiles. As Kaspersky himself points out, the discussion boils down to trust. Can we trust a man who appears to be "close, but not too close" aligned with the Kremlin? My personal answer is "No" and that is why I avoid Kaspersky products and find Kaspersky's own vision for the internet abhorrent. ----------------- [0] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspersky_Lab#Internet_censorship_in_Russia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspersky_Lab#Internet_censorsh...
