In a statement circulated on Twitter, a Kaspersky spokesperson said the organisation takes security “very seriously”.
“Kaspersky experts have checked recently published information, which allegedly contained the source code of Kaspersky products,” the spokesperson said. “The result of the analysis confirms that claims are unfounded – the leak doesn’t contain the source code of the company’s products. Instead, the dump analysed contains publicly available data from Kaspersky servers.
“The source code of Kaspersky’s products, along with security and AV database updates, software bill of materials, are all available for review in Transparency Centers opened around the world as as part of the
Kaspersky Global Transparency Initiative.”
