Yup. Not to mention the Russians seem to be the best at cyber security and virus/malware protection. I'd gladly pay for Kaspersky over any american produced products at this point in time.
All governments need to protect their information. Would Russia trust Symantec more than a U.S. or Canadian government organization would trust Kaspersky? The media is just out there sometimes, off on a nothing tangent.
