The Federal Service for Technical Export Control of the occupying country informed the enterprises of the military-industrial complex about dangers of using anti-virus programs developed in the Russian Federation.
This was reported on April 29 by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Analysis of threats to information security indicates that “foreign hacker groupswhen implementing computer attacks on the information structure of the Russian Federation, software vulnerabilities are actively exploited“.
The main danger is associated with the use of Russian “import substitution” software products by government agencies. First of all, Kaspersky's anti-virus programs: Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security and others.
It turned out that the use of these programs leads to the interception of computer control, information leakage, the possibility of installing and executing third-party program code, and so on. The level of danger associated with their use is assessed from “medium” to “critical”.
Recall that the ZAMESTIM installation appeared in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was made from the first letters of the names of foreign brands that left the Russian market due to the invasion of Ukraine. So, the Russians composed the word “replace” from the first letters ofZara, Adidas, McDonald's, Epson, Škoda, TotalEnergies, IKEA and MilkyWay.
