No problem with this posting, but be aware this is the SAME hack from about a week ago that's been discussed in other threads.

This is NOT a NEW hacking event.

(Whew! had me going for a minute when I read the headline!)

You would think a security firm would be running an all-Linux system.

The jews did it?

Ehh... take with a grain of salt. They weren’t exactly “hacked.” Someone opened something with malicious code and set it free inside their network. They’re likely tracking it very closely. The problem with MOST malware and viruses is that at some point they have to phone home. They can open ports all over the place or attempt egress penetration tests, but if Kaspersky is buttoned up well enough, they’ll likely find where it’s hiding and isolate it.

In a network with segmentation, firewalls, and adequate monitoring, they can isolate the infection and either cure or kill it by shutting down the affected systems. I’d have to imagine things like storage, hypervisors, and email systems are on protected networks. That’s the simplest way to protect a network from an outbreak. Flat networks are usually bad news.

Is this related to the Lastpass hack or an entirely different incident?

Hey, they need to run Norton Power Eraser - Free virus and spyware removal tool.
