Using Russian malware to avoid Israeli malware utilizing backdoors left by American three letter orgs. Gotta love international collaboration.

Simply because kaspersky is based in Russia, you should not use kaspersky. I’d be shocked if the FSB hasn’t forced them to build in backdoors at this point.

- Just because something is based in Russia, means that nobody should use it?

  The government under which a corporate entity operates has direct and meaningful impact on a lot of things about said company. For instance: US companies are subject to ITAR regulations, and there are MASSIVE penalties for breaching those laws. Russia is a totalitarian surveillance state, so I wouldn’t trust any security software from a Russian company. Much the same way that I wouldn’t trust any logic design or 3D modeling software coming out of a major Chinese company, because the CCP has a long and storied history of stealing and reverse engineering shit that they’re not legally allowed to.

  Just because it exists doesn't mean you should use it? You sound like a horny hamster.
