"If our technologies detect anything suspicious and this object is identified as malware, in a matter of minutes all our customers - no matter who or where they are - receive protection from the threat." So did Kaspersky do it or not? "We make no apologies for being aggressive in the battle against malware and cybercriminals," company head Eugene Kaspersky said in a personal blog posting put up shortly after the Journal story ran. But for anyone who didn't have copies of NSA files on his or her computer, this would be a good thing.
Kaspersky Lab has exposed several likely NSA cyberespionage efforts in the past few years, as well as some Russian ones, and it knows what state-sponsored spyware looks like.Ī former NSA staffer told the Journal that Kaspersky antivirus software is "aggressive" in its search for malware on user machines.
However, catching NSA malware on a user's computer is exactly what antivirus software is supposed to do.
