Sorry if I trigger anyone's paranoia, but
1. who told you that it's not a state-backed attack?
2. and if 1 is true, who told it, it's not Russia staying behind it?
and if 2 is true, the KGB university alumni Kaspersky definitely is related to it.
Even let's go all the way down and say the backdoor was directly written by Kaspersky themselves, does it change the value of the content (which is purely technical analysis) anyhow?
Oh sure, but if the reason the employees were poached was because the non-technical founder refused to pay the dev employees more, then whose fault is it?
I am just now busy building a solution: self-hosted sophisticated rate-limiting.
More complex than nginx, more private than cloudfare. Please joint the waitlist if you want to morally support me ;)
