what is that, a deep frying basket? :P
dox = morally grey then I guess
no no, I don't think so at all
ok
sure
Can you even sue for that!?
"Kaspersky Lab, a massive, Russian cybersecurity company, sued the Trump administration in U.S. federal court on Monday, arguing that the American government deprived it of due process rights when Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke banned its software from U.S. government agencies in September.
"
Not even banning to private citizens
THEY'RE JUST BANNING FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
well, it's a very complicated case, so it's right of them to sue for it at least
tbh I've never heard of Kaspersky
but my immediate reaction is that the administration is obviously allowed to do this
The government can say "No Coca-Cola allowed in government agencies"
yes but the problem is that someone, somewhere, has accused Kaspersky of essentially being a front for Putin
so some people in the government has picked up on this
“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"
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
lol
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
