[QUOTE="ExecutiveOrder, post: 960666, member: 93099"] I think it is just how cloud protection works like in any other AV product. The exploit (likely in testing by NSA) installed in one of the govt employee PC being detected by heuristic or behavioral component then the malicious code (not only hashes, and not the whole file) was sent to KSN for faster detection, turns out it was NSA exploit or something like that. I think in the past, Kaspersky (and pretty much other vendors) is more likely to upload stuff out of detection that are not included in the current database than currently now, it's likely that they used to be sending anything suspicious but not yet confident enough to mark it as infected on UI of their AV. It's a strategy to build strong protection through big data even faster, an arms race between security vendors. Pretty much everything in the cybersecurity firm industry is more strict now. IMO, It was the NSA's fault for not making sure KSN is deactivated and they should know how it works. Starting from 2017, there's an option to get KPSN or basically, KSN with no item of data leaves out of the perimeter. [/QUOTE]
