thread_title:  Germany, Avast, and many other security sources warn Kaspersky is not safe 

message: Kaspersky "stole" them???? Which is a conclusion.
* Steal: Definition - "... to take the property of another wrongfully and especially as a habitual or regular practice" / "to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully" / "to take away by force or unjust means" / "to take surreptitiously or without permission" / "to appropriate to oneself or beyond one's proper share"
Or the NSA agent turned-on the option to auto-send suspicious files to Kaspersky? Which is it?
* Kaspersky: Yes, we obtained NSA secrets. No, we didn’t help steal them ArsTechnica.

replies: text: As your source indicates, American intelligence agencies believe that "Kaspersky AV was modified intentionally to help Russian spies locate the NSA material"; therefore, the current text is correct that such allegations exist and, as the allegations have been reported by multiple WP:RS, must remain documented in Wikipedia.

thread_title:  "Stole" the information from the NSA agent or the contractor themselves turned-on the 'auto-send' suspicious files feature? 

message: Hello, as mentioned on past interactions, my name is Jeff Esposito and I am the head of our company’s social media team. I wanted to address the recent edit to the page to include InformNapalm and ask that the addition to the page be removed/reverted.
There is no ongoing collaboration or commercial partnership between Kaspersky and Albatros, and Kaspersky doesn’t offer neural networks as a commercial solution. Kaspersky ended an Antidrone solutions distribution agreement with Albatros in 2022.
In 2021 Kaspersky had an experimental, non-commercial collaboration with Albatros focused on emergency response. The pilot project was aimed for humanitarian actions and that was it. The story is also based on alleged leaked emails that are taken out of context presenting disinformation and speculation.  
While Vladimir Turov and Vladimir Kleshnin are indeed Kaspersky employees, the alleged cooperation with Albatros within the Odyssey project dates back to a period predating their employment at Kaspersky.  
The unverified opinions about Kaspersky should be taken as nothing more than unsubstantiated, false allegations against a company whose mission has always been to protect against malware regardless of its source. Kaspersky remains committed to the full transparency about its business, products and technologies. 
While I know that Wikimedia rules note that corporate messages are not allowed, neither are unverified news sources and the source used is openly noted a bias against Russia. So it is using a source on alleged hacked materials vs. factual basis. Jeffespo (talk) 15:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
