Title taken from the preview, because the article is very long and interactive.
Do you mean that working with a russian company makes one at risk of russian espionnage? Who could have guessed?
Does it surprise me? Not really. I expect that this will happen with every antivirus company that they get forced by the state to help them
Often anti-virus is the virus.
A NDB employee and his team using private devices, sharing data with Kaspersky who have known connections to the FSB, and nothing happens besides the employee being move to home office. He is even given two weeks to use his laptop at home after leaving the NDB and then bring it back, and mysteriously his former team erased any trace from his device.
Nothing to see here! /s
PS Great article. Investigative journalism is huge.
I never understood why people are buying Kaspersky when you can get spied on for free anyway
Everybody, almost every corporation and most national administrations shares all their data with Microsoft defender and nobody bats an eye.
Lol most European governments banned them many years ago because of this exactly. I guess the Swiss services didn’t get the memo
What a surprise, Russian companies leak stuff to the Russian govt
Shameful conduct by the NDB. Who did the background checks for these employees? Clearly this W. person is more interested in prestige than secretly defending and our country. They should never have gotten hired.
Also, W. being allowed to take a work laptop home after being fired is insane. You can’t even do this if you’re a bank employee, so why the hell could this guy? Giving it back wiped is basically admitting to treason.
The Kaspersky transparency center is in Switzerland https://www.kaspersky.com/transparency-center , with transparency they can work together.
But nice article, everything seems to be factually correct.
Just Swiss neutrality things.
Great can they just the sanctions if they‘re already this busy?
Just because they used a Russian software doesn’t make this a story, there are European and American software too that are used. And for a long time (pre-Ukraine) I would say Kasperksy was a legit Software (as legit as anit-virus can be).
I guess SRG tries to legitimize their budget with these stories, not working with me.
