So an NSA contractor or employee takes confidential/highly sensitive code and documents home and leaves it on their machine. They then install a pirated version of Office, after disabling their antivirus software which is telling them it is infected with a virus and preventing the installation.
Seems like massive incompetence from this user rather than Kaspersky doing anything malicious, and those files where destined to be leaked somehow the moment they left the NSA.
I'm sure there are some employees there who may report or leak things to the Russian government, but I don't buy the narrative that Kaspersky is some evil Russian cyber hoover. Maybe I'm naive though.
