I'm suggesting a higher-up or someone else suggested Tavis target Kaspersky. I'm not suggesting Google execs all sat together and decided to destroy Kaspersky.

Is it that hard to believe that there are certain people that would like to dissuade Kaspersky from revealing further information about state-sponsored malware? I'm not even sure where this incredulity is coming from? Let's see you target an intelligence agency and see what happens.

Are you trying to imply Kaspersky are somehow a victim...? Installing their security product actively decreases your security in this case. That destroys their entire reason for even existing.

Kaspersky is no victim here. They've been so negligent in their own product's security that it is actively harmful to have it installed. That's literally the end of their product being useful for me and it applies to any other security company as well. I hope the rest of them get 'suggested' too, and soon! I'll be clear - this vulnerability is the one thing Kaspersky should have been spending their engineering resources on and they have failed utterly. Pack it up and close shop.

I would say Kaspersky should thank their lucky star Google has sponsored such research. This is priceless info.

Clearly you could not be less familiar with Tavis :)
