Not sure about Kaspesky Labs but I do hate the New York Times.

Surprised that Homeland hasn't blamed Kaspersky for something stupid done by DHS.

"But on Wednesday, Elaine C. Duke, the acting secretary of Homeland Security, ordered federal agencies to develop plans to remove Kaspersky software from government systems in the next 90 days."

Maybe I'm being a bit naïve, but isn't this essentially telling the people at Kaspersky and elsewhere "Hey, guys, you have 90 days to do whatever damage you can, because we're closing the door in 91 days."

Why not make the announcement in secret, and on day 91 tell everyone "As of yesterday, no government computers contain any Kaspersky software."

Does it make sense to anyone to telegraph to a potential enemy our strategy of defense?

Just kind of funny.. The UN uses Lenovo laptops, those are also banned (quite a while ago) by the US Government - when the Italians bought the Thinkpad product from IBM, they moved it to China for manufacture and the Chinese intelligence service started loading the motherboards and firmware up with malware.

many comments:
1) The pot calling the kettle Black?
2) Their software probably identifies too many of the malware tools our intelligence agencies use
3) The company is more interested in doing it right, and cannot be man-handled by the US Intel Agencies

Remember Snowden used Secure Email. That vendor was FORCED to go out of business, because the FBI showed up and said:
Install this virus in your software that will steal Snowdens Decryption Keys... And he basically had to ANNOUNCE he was shutting down.
And he went out of business instead.

They can't play that game in Moscow.

Now, you have to ask... Does the KGB play that game?

So did Kaspersky Labs antivirus software cause Hillary to lose the election or get a FISA Court ordered wiretapping of of Americans working on the Trump campaign? Or was she a terrible and obnoxious candidate and Obama's cronies dispersed throughout the Deep State were more worried about losing their grip on public civil servants than following the law and standards of common decency.

When I heard that it was moscow based, and knowing the power of Putin over Russian companies, I would NOT use their anti-virus software myself. If they want to stay alive, they should move Kaspersky to a more free place (not necessarily the USA either, as our government is not to be trusted either)

I'm getting paranoid. There are so many tricks within tricks that one never knows when purchasing an app. or a program, or answering a quiz or taking survey what there is hidden within that will steal your information. or savings or whatinell. One thing is guaranteed though, you're not going to like it.

Interesting.
