Kinda late I guess? These things should have never been allowed in the first place lol. Also, there's soo many more Russian/Chinese apps that still need to be banned, but it's the government, it will obviously take them another 20 years to do that

20 years and probably 50M$ to do as well
Why the fuck anyone can install any third party software on a government device in any country is beyond me
I thought Kaspersky was one of the good guys?
I haven't trusted Kaspersky for a long time, ever since I read this interview.
If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?
Internet design--that's enough.
That's it? What's wrong with the design of the Internet?
There's anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people--hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrongβ¦to introduce it in the same way.
I'd like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation--Internet passports, Internet police and international agreement--about following Internet standards. And if some countries don't agree with or don't pay attention to the agreement, just cut them off.
Wow, fuck whoever said that. Fuck them with a wiffle ball bat.
It was literally Eugene Kaspersky, founder and CEO of Kaspersky.
Didn't he used to be one of the good guys? I remember his antivirus software being very popular among the torrenting community in the early aughts.
Not sure. Heβs a KGB-educated Russian billionaire oligarch so take from that what you will.
Almost sounds like the people saying how good his software was worked for him.
"There's no evidence that they have any back-doors in their software or any ties to the Russian mafia or state... but there is still a concern that you can't operate in Russia without being controlled by the ruling party"source the CEO was also in the military and was a KGB member, i can see why the concerns
No unclassified evidence you mean.
Not in many years.
