Kaspersky Lab Statement on Reuters Article Posted on August 28, 2015

"Reuters is looking for commentary on emails that may not be legitimate and were obtained from anonymous sources that have a hidden agenda. Taking supposed statements out of context and greatly speculating on their meaning, does not provide evidence for these ongoing false allegations by disgruntled, ex-employees. Kaspersky Lab has never conducted any secret campaign to trick competitors into generating false positives to damage their market standing. Such actions are unethical, dishonest and illegal. Accusations spread by disgruntled ex-employees are meritless and simply false."
