Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They're not getting their money.
Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I'm not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.
Yeah sorry guys, did you forget you work for an asshole?
Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like "We'll pay when the embargo ends", since now Kapersky has every reason to sell their next apple exploit on the black market.
They've just turned a department of people successfully working to make apple more secure into a department of people working to make it less secure.
Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like "We'll pay when the embargo ends"
.....aaaaand that would most likely be trying to circumvent the sanctions by essentially receiving credit from Kaspersky on delivered services.
Not saying the situation is optional, but the sanctions would be extremely toothless if it was that easy to circumvent.
How is holding the money until (and if) the sanctions are lifted, "circumventing"?
However unlikely it would be, if the sanctions are lifted (maybe Russia gets a new, sane Government, calls off its invasion, stops its international shenanigans), wouldn't it be OK to pay this company then?
In many cases it's doing business and not just the payment!/compansation that the sanctions is about.
It would be very very bad for world if the folks at Kaspersky turned to black hat activity
I wish they opensource their framework
Kaspersky also has a bunch of US-based subsidiaries or partners they're selling their software through. Or Apple could have just escrowed their reward until the embargo was over.
Who/what are on those other lists.
