SCOLD WAR: Kaspersky drags Uncle Sam into court to battle AV ban

This isn't smoke, there's more to the story.

If you remember, Kaspersky themselves were hacked...late 2015 or 2016...can't remember...but the hack was state sponsored. That state, when they were done with the analysis, alerted the US Government about a backdoor that was found in K software that the Russians was using to steal data off people's computers.

It doesn't matter what Kaspersky says in court. This is a matter of US National Security and once that is invoked, case dismissed, permanently. Appeals will not be heard either.

There's more, but that's all I am going to say about it.
