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"
