Kaspersky Lab: Preliminary results of the internal investigation into
the alleged incident reported by U.S. media, in which Kaspersky is claiming that the
leak of the NSA documents came because the user turned off the virus checker, downloaded
and installed a pirated copy of Microsoft Office, turned back on the virus checker, at
which point the virus checker identified a .zip file (containing the NSA documents) as
infected, and uploaded it to Kaspersky Labs for further inspection.
Same press release
hosted at The Intercept.
The Intercept: NSA worker's software piracy may have exposed him to
Russian spies. Apparently it exposed him to Israeli spies...
