All about Eugene Kaspersky, the man whose antivirus company discovered Stuxnet.

#5  Iranian leadership is pumped up now. Why I don't know. I believe they are waiting for us to make a mistake. With all that we have there, things can go badly quick. Perhaps the Russians and possibly China have worked a deal. Romney is going out of the country and I would hope England will be his first visit and then Germany. I personally hope he meets Putin as well. Maybe ride motorcycles or a horseback ride(Russians love their horses). Get some gravitas. Putin respects people with a backbone. Stand toe to toe, eye to eye. Putin has drawn a line in the sand. They must grapple in order to earn respect for each other. Then great things could happen. I see it as an important time in history.

#4  The Iranians are fools to trust Russians.

Almost as foolish as we are to buy computers made in China.

#3  Always inquire when buying anti virus software, where it was produced. If they hem and haw and don't want to tell you, don't buy it. Do NOT download free anti virus software from the internet. Avoid foreign software of any sort on your computers.

As for Russians, I sometimes check the IP addresses of log entries on my web server to see where they come from. IMHO, Russia is the number one source of hacking attempts followed closely by China. I fear the Chinese more because with them it is a well organized state sponsored activity with vast resources behind it.

I'm happy to see that Kaspersky is a man who enjoys his whiskey but I wouldn't trust him any further than I could throw him and, as hefty as he appears to be, that wouldn't be very far. The Iranians are fools to trust Russians.

#2  He had help. Nobody is successful without the help of others :). In this case he may have had assistance. I do like his style. Looks self made.
Sounds like a movie possibility.

#1  Kaspersky is NOT your friend, their Antivirus hides and is damn had to erase, I just fought it to extinction.
They say "Gimme Money" to get rid of it. (I didn't)
