    I used to use Kaspersky but I stopped about 10 years ago or so. I get why people don’t trust having that software on their computers but personally I don’t distrust their public reports (which is different from trust obviously). Just because I feel like other more technically minded people are going to look into this and there will be a confirmation or a denial eventually.

    I’ve read about code from Stuxnet being used in other worms so it didn’t surprise me that this is possible. I’m not a cyber security expert so it could all be nothing and I wouldn’t know the difference. This is some rather technical stuff.
