Kaspersky: Yes, we obtained NSA secrets. No, we didn’t help steal them
So an NSA contractor or employee takes confidential/highly sensitive code and documents home and leaves it on their machine. They then install a pirated version of Office, after disabling their antivirus software which is telling them it is infected with a virus and preventing the installation.<p>Seems like massive incompetence from this user rather than Kaspersky doing anything malicious, and those files where destined to be leaked somehow the moment they left the NSA.<p>I'm sure there are some employees there who may report or leak things to the Russian government, but I don't buy the narrative that Kaspersky is some evil Russian cyber hoover. Maybe I'm naive though.
