“The case against Kaspersky is well-documented and deeply concerning. This law is long overdue,” said Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
they should of said, "Kaspersky is worse than that cancer McAfee"
and she is mistaken, it's not well-documented at all
I agree
and I agree that they should be able to just say "we'd rather use american products", or "go fuck yourself"
I'd make the arguement that most anti-virus products are crap
you'd be correct
Would this scenario even happen in norway?
well, we're in a weird situation, because we have a decent IT security team at the national level, and decent governing regulations for what companies are allowed to do etc (though obviously not perfect)
but all our governments day to day software and hardware security is absolutely atrocious
you can walk into practically any office and take over their network within seconds
wait what!?
well, they have exposed wifi networks, all computers are accessible over the counters with exposed USB ports
all employees use their own phones on internal networks
wow
how do you know all of this?
watching news?
people tell you stories?
no, I haven't had a plugged in TV for 20 years, I never watch local news
I'm not sure what to say except I've done it, both legally and illegally
the illegal way was me and a friend distributed fake USB drives at a local political conference
with custom stickers on them
**NORWEGIAN HACKERS**
the legal way was penetration testing hiring
as for the wifi and exposed USB ports, anyone can see that if you just walk into an office
are people aware about how crap it is or?
well, certainly IT people are aware
it has gotten better the past 10 years or so
and again, at a national defense level, it's much better, and there are competent people operating the backbone routers and such
how is it compared to sweden and danemark?
I'd imagine it's pretty much the same in the whole world except the US
and possibly israel
nonono
you mean (((**ISRAEL**)))
yes, so the kaspersky thing it's not really something that I can even imagine being a priority here
I mean I am literally unable to play the scenario in my head, there's so many other things to worry about first
like the price of herring or oil?
I mean there's no network among offices, there's just email from person to person
so even if one local office had kaspersky software, who cares
do you have very long days/nights?
