I understand this is a gray area, but it seems unwise for Kaspersky to publicize that they are helping the Russian occupation authorities with cyber defense.


...lol?

They are already painted as a 'KGB security firm' for years.

And you probably missed the most interesting part:

>> When the potential victim activates ... infection of the computer with a previously unseen malicious framework that we named CommonMagic

Combined with the targets and the source (payload is hosted directly in AS56485, like, come on) you can ask who are the authors and what your reaction should be when this framework would be found in EU/US networks.
