In Britain, government agencies have banned the use of Russian antivirus software

In London, they distributed an official appeal to the heads of government departments and other institutions with state participation. The appeal refers to the inadmissibility of using Russian software in connection with its “danger. First of all, we are talking about anti-virus software produced by Russian companies.

Interfax gives a fragment of this message:

The National Cyber ​​Security Center at the UK Government Communications Center has directed all government agencies not to use such programs in systems related to national security.

It is emphasized that first of all, the “danger” for the British systems related to national security is represented by Kaspersky Lab products. Such a statement was made on the air of the BBC.

At the same time, none of the experts gave examples of when Kaspersky Lab products dealt a blow to the security of British government institutions. It was noted that it is not even about identified threats, but about “potential risks”. It is stated that Russian software "can steal personal data of users." This is said in a country whose intelligence services, together with the US, are stealing user data from around the world.

It is clear that this is the next step of the Western "partners" in terms of "dirty" competition and the continuation of the flow of Russophobia, pouring under any pretexts.

Oh, these Englishmen! Go to arithmometers and Kaspersky will not be afraid of you .... Otherwise, your whole life will stop there ..

The news smiled! How everything in the world is old and eternal. This promise cannot be called otherwise than unfair competition ..

Not only competition matters. It comes to the conclusion that strangers cannot be allowed into the information databases.
Our stubbornly preparing state employees in general from Vindos "excommunicate" in the next 2-5 years
It seems (did not check) government purchases of PCs collected outside the territory of the Russian Federation have already been banned ..

And yet, what did Kaspersky annoy them with? His firmochka is private, right down to the bone marrow.
Here, however, the Mossadites planted their informer to him, which is not difficult in other matters, there are entirely citizens with the fifth count working. The rumor went that Casper on the FSB
"plowing." Can legs grow from here?
By the way, I never used his "products."

Well, wait for your queen to write antiviruses to you. so that you have everything of your own!

[rotmistr60]

Not a royal thing. They have a prime minister - also that Russophobia.

do not use such programs ...

In this case, there is another attempt to harm the company, at the head of which is a Russian citizen and, as they wrote above correctly, unfair competition. I would like to advise the British to bother with this less, because in their opinion, Russian hackers are omnipresent, which means ...

[Cat]

Next year, our hackers will choose the new queen of Great Britain!

[ul_vitalii]

Wow now.

[HEATHER]

Soon they will get rid of them in a hovering software. Kaspersky is stealing! But seriously there will be a lot of holes. Now schoolchildren in computers rummage around some protection. I don’t know about the firewall.

It’s possible, but it’s also an effective way to deal with cyber threats (to work on your own). It’s very dangerous to buy goods with a double bottom from an adversary. A hit on a dependent vulnerable network can be colossal. Everyone is in goodness because such attacks were not carried out in full force. Only fragments, and only the lazy one does not know about the arrays of extracted intelligence.

[Sergey53]

We also need to switch to our program faster.

[K-50]

In this case, everything British can also pose a threat to the security of our country and is therefore subject to a ban.

[sharp-lad]

Especially their schools, universities, banks, investment funds into which Russian money flows, as well as all real estate acquired by citizens of Russia! And it's not a joke!!!

[Alf]

This British passage is not quite clear. How strange it turns out. Is it possible that on the tin islands, and even in the mattress, programmers capable of creating an antivirus have ended? But what about the Gates essence? Is Casper better? Some kind of zrada turns out.

Well it is necessary. We were banned from using western software three years ago (since the moment Snowden told me). Have they been waiting for so many years? Well stupid!

I'm not special in computers, but BASIC and Fortran are computer languages, but not OSes.

In the student years, there were still "little things" with punch cards. And the computer for us gunsmiths was a dark forest, but the SAUshniki there violently thought)))

How dare you say that ?! Starting from the year 91, each of our prezik claims that our economy is on the rise. That's just when they calibrated the altimeter, apparently mixed up plus and minus.

[Glory1974]

This is where banned and how?

In power structures. There is a list of what you can use and what you can’t.

A licensed Windows is, of course, not Western software ...

Western, but allowed to use. So they know something that we don’t know.

So there is none and is not foreseen. And we know this very well.

Well, how not? What about MSVS?

And then why is Windows allowed?

[Glory1974]

And then why is Windows allowed?

To make the choice, to whom it is more convenient. Not the fact that any Windows works for the adversary .. Therefore, they use it.
Personally, it’s easier for me to work on Windows. And someone prefers MSVS, there is a slightly different interface.
In general, the competent authorities made up the list; it is better to ask them what they were guided by.

[Div Divich]

Not only the antivirus can collect information, but the operating systems themselves, browsers, applications installed in the system, search sites can monitor your activity, social networks can monitor your actions.

In general, this is not a fight against threats, but an attempt to damage the reputation of the Russian IT business. Anti-Russian sanctions.

[japs]

When turning on the coffee maker and iron in the morning, check first what antivirus software they use.
If Russian, then everything, kaput, wait for the hacker attack ...

And what, do different versions of windows have different manufacturers? What a news ! I’ll come to the programmers tomorrow, they’ll be surprised ...
I also like Seven more, but work and home are two different things.
Our competent authorities, to put it mildly, themselves ... are smeared in various bad deeds. So believe them, do not respect yourself.
