US intelligence chiefs don't trust Kaspersky. But why?

... because they are not dumb. [Kapersky's EULA](https://support.kaspersky.com/12915) forbids verifying his claims of trustworthiness: "You shall not [...] decompile, or reverse-engineer the Software. You shall not otherwise reduce any part of the Software to human-readable form.". Therefore, you cannot check or otherwise verify his trustworthiness. Hence, Kapersky cannot be trusted by design. In that sense, the intelligence chiefs' [answers to Marco Rubio](https://www.grahamcluley.com/us-intelligence-chiefs-dont-trust-kaspersky) in the Senate Committee were spot on: Don't trust Kaspersky.
