This thread is something...It's like charging up your own biases. Man, those eurocrats emphaised that kaspersky is 'confirmed malicious'. Now, that's great, kaspersky is #####... I can agree with everything. Point here is, if they are so sure about this why didn't they bother to provide any evidence? If it comes to speculation, then anyone can speculate anything. Kaspersky is known threat against GCHQ & NSA surveillance.I don't know whether kaspersky products are used by FSB or not, but NSA & GCHQ does know that they have to terminate kasperky by any means.
Now, I can believe kasperky helps FSB or any state sponsored russian hacking groups to develop certain malwares,tricks,programs etc. But, through their product they...Nah mate, they won't take that risk. Their products were used by US defence agencies. Do you think no source code audit was done during that time? Btw, kaspersky also used to collaborate with europol. Now, ban kaspersky. It's all understable. But what about those malwares which were developed by NSA & GCHQ.
Personally, I don't believe anything is apolitical. Every move against kaspersky is based upon political derivation. Cyberwar just has started, lets see where it will take us.
