    une interview frappante :

    Kaspersky: (...) Even the Americans are now openly saying that they would respond to a large-scale, destructive #Internet attack with a classic military strike. But what will they do if the cyber attack is launched against the United States from within their own country? Everything depends on computers these days: the energy supply, airplanes, trains. I’m worried that the Net will soon become a war zone, a platform for professional attacks on critical infrastructure.
    SPIEGEL: When will that happen?
    Kaspersky: Yesterday. Such attacks have already occurred.

    et sur l’origine des virus :

    Kaspersky: Based on the number of programmed viruses, we are in third place behind China and Latin America. Unfortunately, Russians are also among the most sophisticated and advanced players in criminal cyber activity. These days, they invent viruses and complex Trojan programs on demand. They launder money through the Internet. However, the largest number of harmful programs are written in Chinese. This means that they can be coming directly from the People’s Republic, but also from Singapore, Malaysia and even California, where there are Mandarin-speaking hackers.

    (...) In general, the crime level in India is low. It’s probably a matter of the mentality. #India and China have roughly the same population, the same computer density, a similar standard of living and similar religious roots. But #China spits out viruses like they were coming off an assembly line.
