[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 773907"] I am sure you would be annoyed as well if you spent several years trying to track the movements of terrorist organisations in Africa, Afghanistan or Iraq, only for a security vendor to then expose the APT whilst claiming they discovered it through a customer. I am actually glad that the U.S government develop APTs to target terrorist organisations. It means they are able to gather more intelligence to actually protect their own citizens, as well as those in countries they have a good relationship with, such as the UK. Normal civilians aren't being attacked with such and most targets are in foreign countries like Africa. Don't get me wrong, of course I know that all governments do shady things and I am neither saying that we should give up our privacy or anything of the sort... but Kaspersky was getting in the way of genuine government operations for counter-terrorism. It was confirmed that documentations such as the Slingshot APT were from genuine government operations after public exposure. [/QUOTE]
