"Spying on cybersecurity companies is a very dangerous tendency," said the company's chief executive Eugene Kaspersky.

"The only way to protect the world is to have law enforcement agencies and security companies fighting such attacks openly. "We will always report attacks regardless of their origin."

...REALLY? You want the "Law Enforcement" to get involved with security software...hmm, what did we hear today...

"This file photo shows Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The Chinese Embassy in Washington has denied that the country had a role in a major cyberattack that targeted U.S. government data"...

...and you want the Government to handle your data security :-D

sidenote: These two jobs look like they had an inside solution.

1. Kaspersky: It was a new product and money is tight for people because corporations don't pay them what they are worth, so people try to make a buck on the side....don't you just love people's ingenuity ;-)

2. USG: This was more for information not only took longer, but the type of information they got was probably hidden and more than likely someone showed them the way...

Most of your Data Breaches are caused by a Weak link, either sabotage or bad user making careless mistakes.

It's bad enough you make a mistake, it's worse when you don't ask for help to fix it...and that's a fact!
