Russian spies used Kaspersky AV to hack NSA staffer, swipe exploit code – new claim Russian government spies used Kaspersky Lab software to extract top-secret software exploits from an NSA staffer's home PC, anonymous sources have claimed.

But the NYT is ok with this as it's not anti-${GOODETHNICITY}:
Via It's Avigdor Lieberman's World ...
From the NYT … With news of the hacking and influence campaigns escalating all year, the Russian immigrant community of Silicon Valley, which numbers in the tens of thousands, is in a strange new position. Some Russian venture capitalists said start-ups were more wary about taking their funding, while several Russian-born engineers said they were being treated differently socially and in their companies. Lawyers also said some tech firms were installing tighter security measures restricting what data foreign-born coders can see.
We have reached levels of government/nepotistic-capitalistic incompetence and craveness unheard of since the good old times of Caligula, That gaslighting packages are being dumped on the public, whose IQ levels seem to be steadily declining if they haven't been hoovered up totally into "mobile phones". This serie of packages just happens to have Russian flags stickers all over it, directly from unnamed TLA sources to the "journalist/pravdaist" desk. It's then repeated ad nauseam by churnalists, twitter-ratties and assorted rifraf.
It will be over soon and we don't even have a Mustapha Mond type guy actually running the idiobot show from behind the curtained office.
Go ahead, El Reg. "Curate" this comment.
A highly successful Russian company that is immune to Putin's control? Seriously?
And the problem with ANY comment that is favorable to Kaspersky is that it could be Russians paid to back whatever Putin wants people to think. To paraphrase a famous quote: "on the internet no one can tell you are a dog (or a Russian (or Chinese) for that matter)". The problem with Russian (and Chinese) successes in cyber warfare against the West is that it brings doubt to EVERYTHING anyone says on the internet. Those using the internet can be divided into two camps; those who take what they read online at face value and those who now doubt the validity of anything they read. If the internet is a world group mind, at this stage, Russians (and other parties waging cyber warfare) are driving that group mind crazy.
