      Number 1 is pretty efficient, though.

                I don't see an issue there.

                Clearly they didn't whitelist their designer malware with the Anti-malware software running on the computer, which Kaspersky picked it up and was just doing it's job as it should.

                  Oh yeah, seems like 100% an NSA "voluntarily sending data externally" problem. Nothing to do with the AV vendor directly.

                    I'm sure they even agreed to have data sent to Kaspersky. Oddly I'm much more inclined to believe Kaspersky then the NSA... especially since this isn't the first time they've messed up like this.

                        Basically, the NSA was incompetent and didn't know basic security. Surprised? I didn't think so.

                            That's been common knowledge since their inception... or at least since they've been retasked to spy on American citizens.

                                      Fedora 28, likely more than six months away, is going to focus heavily on improving laptop battery life. Something very much needed in the Linux world.

                                          I wonder why any delivery driver would agree to work with such service. Something gets stolen from your house, blame the delivery guy. Huge liability for them.

                                            Not likely. I guarantee that they have legal forms for that. And don't they use cameras?
