lol, but I still waiting for some interesting stuff, perhaps 1% of their "source code leaks" consists of real (at least low level) severity leaks.
A recent reply from the "Network Battalion 65 (leader?)" :
Also, I want to point out that Hackerone (major vulnerability coordination and bug bounty platform) disabled Kaspersky's bug bounty program account and is pretty sure all Russian bounty programs there... This is relevant to this thread (some source code leaks will lead to vulnerability discovery and in the end, 0-day exploits) and a previously deleted "Conflict and sanctions effect on the Russian product like Kaspersky" thread.
This will cause trouble since it's Kaspersky's main platform for bug and vulnerability reporting, latest hackivity was 7 days ago (2-3 reports during the invasion).

The bad thing about this news, some members they get away without the company. I'm sorry about Kaspersky.

He wanted attention, he got it by fooling people 
It's better that Kaspersky is safe. Good for consumers.

I like this article. Well written except the classless part on which he pointed fingers towards Bitdefender for nothing. This reminded me of Eugune Kaspersky's unprofessional bashing of Windows Defender back in the day.Here we go again | Borderline
Hey everyone. I haven’t posted here in a while. The world made no sense the last time I did, and it makes even less sense now. That translates (among other things) to people being crazier on the internet, constantly challenging my personal illusions about what I imagined to be rock bottom. Maybe...blog.kwiatkowski.fr

It was probably in Eugene's personal blog. I read it a couple of years ago. It's not recent. Back when, Windows Defender was getting bad results in lab tests.

Yes. As MD has become much better than it used to be, those type of dig won't work anymore. I just said that the unnecessary dig by this Kaspersky employee reminded me of Eugune's unprofessional blog. Otherwise, it's alright.

No reason not to eat them. There is some high value entertainment after the posts I quotedI'm disappointed, I had planned on chips for a good laugh

Every Kaspersky user be ready to uninstall if this is true and Kaspersky becomes attacked
Already switched to ESET IS from Kaspersky AV (Paid) not because of my support for Ukraine but simply felt concerned about how good Kaspersky can perform when Russia and its companies faces sanctions from the west. Not sure if their threat intelligence collection networks will continue to work as intended

There's nothing to see, is files available to the public and is not the source of anything.

You know what! I take back what I said.
I missed this line initially. But after seeing this, I understand the point Kaspersky's employee made there.
Basically, Bitdefender indirectly (more like directly) telling everyone that if you switch from Kaspersky (Implying you should, because it's Russian) to Bitdefender then we'll give you a free one year license of our product.
This is bad. Bad practice from Bitdefender. Even though Kaspersky is one of your biggest rivals, as a fellow cybersecurity company you shouldn't kick them while they are down. You shouldn't have included this line. They are taking advantage of the war. Bad marketing tactic to lure more users. Malpractice.
Yeah I’m not a fan of the vulturing/opportunistic luring of Kaspersky’s customers either. I think it’s valid of a concern if an individual or a business either is concerned about the product quality going down or simply has issues doing business with a Russian company as the sanctions continue increasing. But trying to offer free / discounted licenses is just in poor taste.Here we go again | Borderline

Well this leak turned out to be a total waste of everyone’s time….
