Kaspersky anti-virus under attack!!

Hello everyone!

    Welcome to our platform where we believe in sharing knowledge. Today I am here with a post having some warnings issued against Russian anti-viruses by the UK cybersecurity body. Another warning has been issued by the National Cyber Security Centre to the government departments regarding the use of Kaspersky anti-virus software.

    Earlier some of the allegations were made on the Kaspersky Labs by US for having connections with Russian spies in order to gather information from it's users. Now, department of UK's cybersecuirty also warns Britishers about using Kaspersky as an anti-virus. They are believing that the Russian Government had exploited the anti-virus and they are gathering the information from the users of Kaspersky.

    Eugene Kaspersky, the chief executive of Kaspersky Labs has refused to accept this allegations against itself. Also stated that the rumors were spread out there due to campaign which was co-ordinated by the US politicians along with media and FBI. Worldwide, Kaspersky has around 400 million users. The BBC report says that the NCSC(National CyberScurity Centre) doesn't have any of the proofs or evidence against Kaspersky of gathering the information or espionage has taken place anywhere in past. It's just a precaution on risk-analysis done by the UK cybersecurity body. The technical director of NCSC, Mr. Levy said,"Given we access the Russians do cyber-attacks against the UK for reasons of state, we believe some Uk Government and critical national systems are at increased risk."

    "Russia is acting against the Uk's national interest in cyberspace", stated by the head of the National Cyber Security Centre, Ciaran Martin. He also wrote a letter to the civil services on 1st December and said that Russia seeks "to target UK central government and the UK's critical national infrastructure." "A Russia-based provider should never be used for he systems that deal with issues related to national security", he advised. On 28 November, CEO (Russian) told that they never help the intelligence agencies, he pledged also at Kaspersky Lab's London headquarters. He said "It doesn't matter, the Russians or any other nation. It's the same as if the British government came to this office and asked us to do [something] wrong. If the Russian government comes to me and asks me [or my employees] to do anything wrong I will move to the business out of Russia."

    The US- government banned few federal agencies from using Kaspersky software in the mid-September this year, concerning about spy used by the Kremlin. UK intelligence agency GCHQ told that it was also worried about the anti-virus products to The Financial Times earlier this month. This controversey was taken in consideration highly when it was found that the firm's customer software had disappeared some secretive source code from a computer attached to a National Security Agency (NSA). One of the staff member from the NSA had carried some of the tools used for hacking to his home which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in first half of the October.


    Kaspersky said that his company was facing an attack from horrible forces and also sad that due to good service they are having such enemies.He explained that they are having attack because they see thee malicious code which was not seen by others. "There are something extraordinary. We did something that made someone very very very disappointed. he one thing which comes to mind is that we just do our job, we do our job much better than our competitors. I am not going to change our behavior. This media attack will never stop us.", he added this.
