If they want in, they will get in. Plan accordingly.

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?

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.
YMMV.
