According to Ukrinform, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports in a telegram.

The Russian agency notes that “foreign hacker groups actively exploit software vulnerabilities in the implementation of computer attacks on the information structure of the Russian Federation.”

It is noted that the main danger is associated with the use of Russian “import substitution” software products by government agencies. First of all, Kaspersky Anti-Virus programs: Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security, etc.

It turns out that the use of these programs leads to computer control, information leakage, the ability to install and execute third-party program code, and more. The level of hazard associated with their use is rated from ‘moderate’ to ‘critical’.

As Ukrinform reports, the United States has warned some American companies that Moscow could use Kaspersky’s software to harm them.
