No. That’s why we have healthcare, legalized weed, decriminalized drugs, and have almost zero shootings.

Probably shouldn’t complain when they’re doing good things…

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

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 wrong…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.

I don’t agree with their position but I’m not seeing any bad intentions there.

It was literally Eugene Kaspersky, founder and CEO of Kaspersky.

So what’s a better option in your opinion.

For an antivirus? I’d say just defender & don’t open sketchy .exe files for Windows. Otherwise, Linux and don’t really worry about it. Keep regular backups either way and you can’t go too far wrong.

For the design of the internet, I’d say the opposite of what Kaspersky wants lol

Not OP, but for Enterprise Carbon Black. For personal home use, Windows Defender if you’re tech savvy, ESET NOD32 if you’re risk adverse or not careful.

"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
