what many do not understand about IT security and hacking and or malware attacks...they are designed usually to exploit weaknesses in the coding of a software product.....

In millions of lines of coding there is always a deficient line or two that allow exploitations against those specific code weaknesses....

This also goes for anti viral software.....REMEMBER when the latest Russian cyber attack on Ukraine hit...ONLY 16 anti viral products actually detected it out of a tested leading 25 AV products......

THIS goes also for Kaspersky.....ALL software has back doors...and I literally mean ALL....that is what hackers are always looking for to include nation state security services....

THIS response by Russia concerning Kaspersky is extremely interesting as they have never responded in this way if for say Rosneft or Gazprom loses a deal...........

REMEMBER in the Kaspersky cyber lab there are FSB liaison officers..one was recently arrested for allegedly spying for the US.....AND Kaspersky has all the end user individual computer data as it provides support for those legally purchased copes of their software.

Any “unilateral political sanctions” by the U.S. may prompt a response from Russia, whose government systems use “a huge proportion of American software and hardware solutions in the IT sphere, even in very sensitive areas,” Nikiforov said in an interview on Friday. He declined to identify U.S. software products that may be affected by any reciprocal sanctions.
REMEMBER Russia has forced all US IT companies to provide them all backdoors and source coding in order to do business in Russia...WHICH they all complied with including say Cisco and IBM....

So when the US does he same the Russians flip out.....WHY......
