[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 774615"] [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] TLDR: content was indeed uploaded to Kaspersky servers and it just so happens that it included content from the Equation Group malware because it was included within an archive which was flagged by Kaspersky (detection). I am not saying that Kaspersky was in the wrong for this scenario. I am merely pointing out that it is possible for files to be uploaded by Kaspersky to their servers unless something has changed since then and now in how Kaspersky handle telemetry/cloud integration. Not that it would be a bad product if nothing has changed since, there are vendors with a lot worse policies out there. [/QUOTE]
