Don't Use Kaspersky Lab Software

[dlevere]

Rob Joyce, the Trump administration's cyber-security coordinator, said Tuesday the U.S. is lacking 300,000 cyber-security experts needed to defend the country.

He also had a warning for the public about using software from Kaspersky Lab. U.S. officials believe the company has ties to the Kremlin -- and the federal government has vowed not to use its products.

CBS News has confirmed that FBI officials have met with private industry representatives to relay concerns about Kaspersky Lab, which is a Moscow based cyber-security company with suspected ties to Russian intelligence.

Considering the hooplah over the supposed election hacks, I'd steer clear of anything electronic that's based in Russia (except for Tetris).
