[QUOTE="fabiobr, post: 878503, member: 78956"] Being the devil lawyer here, but NSA doesn't accuse only this, it accuses Kaspersky from stealing confidential documents beyond malware. Kaspersky, on a huge post in their blog SecureList, explains everything and says that the cloud system, by "mistake", sent everything in the folder and Eugene said to delete them (confidential docs) after a security analyst warned him. They said it was multiple detections on the folder, so the engine sent everything. They said too that, since Kaspersky was one of the first companies detecting NSA malware, their proactive modules were set to detect this kind of malware and it did it. Most of them were PDM and HEUR. Edit: If anyone is interested, they explain a little how detection works too [URL='https://securelist.com/investigation-report-for-the-september-2014-equation-malware-detection-incident-in-the-us/83210/']Investigation Report for the September 2014 Equation malware detection incident in the US[/URL] Equation Group: NSA Malware, Kaspersky and Symantec (US!!) were one of the first companies publicizing this malware group and connecting it to NSA.
