Diplomacy seams easier than hypocritical isolationist foreign policy. Maybe pay a moderator 😄

😇😇😇

I'm encouraged to see the US government is actually smart enough to protect America by doing the right thing (ban Kaspersky, which is easily controlled by the Kremlin).

re crypto what is "the way that you think of" ?

Cheers Ali! It is interesting how the ole Kaspersky got the boot. Was there any malware or evidence of malbehavior?

Has the US government provided any evidence of there claims? I don’t think so, the reasons for the ban are probably more to do with how well kaspersky blocks NATO based malware…

great

Kaspersky has been known to collect classified documents from users. Russian spy tool 😢

The theory that the Russian government could use Kaspersky to attack the US and other countries is sound. This is the problem with authoritarian governments, they taint legitimate companies.

US banning Kaspersky so the Client-Side scanning fiesta and other "privacy focused" moves, can run free! :3

Still watching since the time of the IRC on the wall from the hack house!❤

This makes me think of the astronaut meme. "Wait, Kaspersky is a threat now?" "It always was."

Browsers that save passwords should be F'ing illegal. Wtf is wrong with the people deciding this feature should stay in. I'm going to make a new circle in hell for them.

i love the news updates, but miss the days of you guys showing us how things are done

This is why i use a usb key when i can

banning a company just because they are from a specific country is way to far. we are entering a point where some individuals HATE Russians just because of a war that has nothing to do with most of us. hate is for the low iq. of course a company can work with their government but so far we have no evidence of any of that.

Kaspersky has offices in Russia, that's the only concern. Nothing has ever been found to be wrong with Kaspersky.

When’s that going to get updated to the latest wifi and bluetooth tech? That stuff is ages old now

I thought we'd already settled this: you can't ask for more than the bounty is set at. You can't even ask for a free tshirt because it could *look like* extortion. This kind of thing gives the rest of the Bug Bounty community a bad look.

Is ALI on onlyfans?

There is an old joke going around for years in the Israeli cyber community, that Kaspersky products come with free backup of all your data (on Russian servers)

Kaspersky is not the new tiktok, Kaspersky has been a well established threat since mid 1990s.

It's a Brave New World

It is probably a bad idea to buy shields from the same people who shoot arrows at you. Kaspersky bans are reasonable.

I think it is more than reasonable to ban software from hostile foreign nations. We already have influence campaigns from Russia and China on US owned apps. So it would be easy for tiktok to be use for that. And imagine if antivirus would do an update that would not detect ransomware from Russia. And the whole third party review is disingenuous as AV updates come out daily. The cost for good third party review considering we all know how malware obfuscation works would be crazy to get daily detailed analysis of it.

its hypocritical. if Russia is really in that software, they cant even transport gas 20 miles. from US gov people that really don't understand what's going on. Lets say somewhere in Kaspersky was a backdoor so hidden our white to black hats can't find it, where could it be installed where other more vulnerable software aren't already?

Good marketing for Kaspersky. There is no bad marketing, now more people will buy Kaspersky just because USA banned them. If USA bans something, then it's because it's safe to use it, am I wrong FDA?

What’s to stop Kaspersky from creating a new American subsidiary, rebranding their software (changing splash screens etc same engine), and releasing as a USA product.

You gotta work on sounding more natural, you seem still a bit stiff. Chill girl, I know you from twitch months ago, you are pro, relax a bit.

I loath Anti-Virus software. We keep it OFF of our systems and even forcefully remove/disable Windows Defender itself. That said, the US (THEE most violent, hypocritical criminal empire in modern history) banning Kaspersky actually now gives me a strong hankering TO USE IT. :edit: Permit me to outline the *real* reason our criminal empire decided to YEET Kasper products. It's quite simple, Kaspersky products, while not impervious to hacking, represent a significant headache to *our* criminal 3-letter agencies, making their crimes against our own citizens significantly harder to commit. Well making it harder & more expensive for the NSA to spy on Americans is simply not going to be tolerated. So *out ya go* Kaspersky.

Reasonable to ban Russian and Chinese companies because they are willing and able to spy on the US. We are also doing the same thing and have used civilian companies for foreign operations there is no reason to think other more authoritarian countries are doing the same

Kaspersky is the best of the best, this is just meanness. It's a joke about "not trusting foreign" providers, when NSA is drilling into everyone infrastructure- we wouldn't be up to our eyeballs in ransomware if the NSA hadn't developed all the tools (eternalblue) that is used by modern ransomware.

YES CYBER MOMMY

❤DIMPLES❤

That's a shame because they have some great tools and software.

i dont understand why people are so passionate about TikTok , its mind numbing drivel that has dumbed down the current generation to the point where they have zero attention span and think a "good idea" is a "life hack" , That said i will defend your right to be dumbed down

I never trust and never buy anything from Russia ... And I wish to say the same about China too, hope we will move our production from totalitarian states

The concerns are not unreasonable. However, the ban of a Russian product based on unproven claims of adversarial behavior, while allowing the steady flow products from China, who has been demonstrated to be adversarial, seems hypocritical.

Davinky? Hahahaha Nice one Ali 🤣

I believe if company or someone did something wrong then is ok being banned, but with out good evidence is pretty wrong, when we have ally country funding to change who they want to win in are elections more dangerous then russia as we keep a eye on them at all time not the county we are ally with.

Kaspersky hasn't been a leader in infosec in decades, why do I keep seeing news outlets say this. It's False

The Kaspersky team are excellent security researchers. The company though … if the government wants access, They Will Get It. Same as US companies with the US government. If you have anything you want to keep secret from the Russian government, I'd stay far away from Kaspersky. But that's more general advice than anything when it comes to closed source software that effectively has root access to your system or the ability to snoop your data and phones home from time to time by design.

Ya'll know TikTok is owned buy Bytedance, a Chinese owned company. Companies owned in China are controlled by the CCP. Foreign companies in China are required by CCP law to have an office for the CCP officials, in which they can tell the company what to do, and they have to do it. It has to do with the governmental influence. Plus, all they have to do is divest from the country - China with TikTok, and Russia with Kapersky.

A little point-counterpoint (or vice-versa). Nice work! Ali got chops 🍷😎🏴‍☠️ Thanks for the infos

WELL... the good news is they haven't banned Red Star OS yet, so if you're worried about your MP3 and MP4 collection of forbidden audio and K-Pop music then don't you worry your little head tonight... 😭😭

Good luck "uninstalling" Kaspersky now 😏😭🤏 Too many places to hide on your computer with all the intel they've gathered studying viruses whose job it is to NOT be detected. This is why I stick with my Motorola 3200! Try hacking that, Kremlin! 😂

I have a lack of trust in anything the government says. More likely, Kaspersky didn't want to play ball with giving backdoor access to them.

I JUST noticed my freeware version of Kaspersky is not running and has been uninstalled from my system! Time to check the registry and see if there are remnants! FYI to all the people who haven't noticed!

I am a security person. Both Kaspersky and TikTok are reasonable.
