BANGALORE / MUMBAI, India - November 20, 2013
ESET, global provider of security solutions for businesses and consumers, responded for the open letter sent from 'Bits of Freedom'
on detection of Government malware. A coalition of digital rights
organizations and academics recently published an 'open letter' to the
Anti-Malware/Anti-Virus industry, and sent copies to individual vendors,
including ESET.
The
letter asks for clarification on vendor policies as regards cooperation
with government agencies and/or law enforcement using state-sponsored
Trojans. ESET responded on all the questions sent by providing the
details on the detected malware alleged to be used by government
agencies.
Richard Marko, CEO at ESET said, "Our
mission is to allow everyone to enjoy a safer digital world. It's our
job to detect malware, and our customers expect us to deal with it when
we find it. There is no such thing as a good Trojan and any such code
can turn malicious in the hands of crooks and terrorists"
