#2One can easily imagine reading an article like this published on a Russian site, with 'Kaspersky' replaced with 'Symantec' and 'FSB' with 'NSA'.

TBH, regardless of the NYT and their recent "red-scare", I'd be concerned with using them on sensitive systems -because either knowingly or unwittingly they could have FSB moles working for them.

#8While its certainly true that we need to worry about these Russian products, the damage that the NSA has done is enormous.
Can I trust Cisco VPNs? Can I trust Windows? Can I trust my router? The NSA opens boxes in shipment to break their security, and they have the resources to do a lot more.
Unfortunately for us in the U.S., the NSA threat is a real one, not a hypothetical.
And a question for the people who know more than me: is there any IT vendor who hasn't been corrupted by the NSA, the Russians or the Chinese?

#9Despite its statement of fact in the title, this is in the opinion section and is riddled with innuendo, inaccuracies, and fearmongering, starting with the oft-repeated and incorrect idea that Russia "hacked our election". This is of course not the case - some email was hacked and it exposed some of the illegal/unethical dealings of a candidate. Had the leaked emails all been about how hard that candidate was going to work for the American people, perhaps the result would have been more to the liking of the author of this piece.
Perhaps it is a bad idea for the US government to use Kapersky software, and perhaps it isn't. I wouldn't be able to determine that by reading this opinion, because it contains no facts backing up the author's fears.

You forgot microsoft apple and google. In many countries they are looked upon as potential vectors if not threats themselves.
