If I follow this correctly... Kaspersky and others sell anti-malware products which include anti-spyware
The NSA develops spyware and gets it onto zillions of machines Kaspersky and other anti-malware products detect this and upload it to their central servers for analysis and for them to keep in their malware databases Ultimately, every anti-malware vendor has the NSA spyware available in some form This seem to be what is happening? With friends like these, who needs enemas? -- richard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent: Monday, October 16, 2017 3:37 AM Subject: [NTSysADM] More on Kaspersky An interesting read, I thought. Especially this: The NSA bans its analysts from using Kaspersky anti-virus at the agency, in large part because the agency has exploited anti-virus software for its own foreign hacking operations and knows the same technique is used by its adversaries. The Israeli hack itself would be reason enough for the NSA or any other intelligence agency to ban Kaspersky products. It happens to other anti-virus packages, too. Recently, the South Korean military discovered it had been hacked, presumably by North Korean intelligence, using Hauri anti-virus software.
