darkphoenix181 09/18/17 4:47:21 PM #1:	https://www.wired.com/story/kaspersky-security-news/ In a long-anticipated move, the Department of Homeland Security this week banned the US government’s use of all software sold by the Russian security firm Kaspersky, citing the company’s potential ties to the Russian government. That order follows another decision months earlier by the General Services Administration, which regulates US spending on IT, to remove Kaspersky from a list of approved sellers. This new directive goes further, giving agencies 90 days to pull all Kaspersky products out of their networks. “The risk that the Russian government, whether acting on its own or in collaboration with Kaspersky, could capitalize on access provided by Kaspersky products to compromise federal information and information systems directly implicates US national security,” reads a statement from the DHS https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/13/us/politics/kaspersky-lab-antivirus-federal-government.html The concerns surrounding Kaspersky, whose software is sold throughout the United States, are longstanding. The F.B.I., aided by American spies, has for years been trying to determine whether Kaspersky’s senior executives are working with Russian military and intelligence, according to current and former American officials. The F.B.I. has also been investigating whether Kaspersky software, including its well-regarded antivirus programs, contain back doors that could allow Russian intelligence access into computers on which it is running. The company denies the allegations. --- sigless user is me or am I? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:886839489] in Kaspersky ...
