Zack Whittaker / @zackwhittaker : This may well be the best reporting that came out of the Kaspersky security summit earlier this year. Props to @lorenzoFB for awesome work. motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ ... Jason Koebler / @jason_koebler : Kaspersky Lab is one of the most important cybersecurity companies, and is also at the center of ongoing geopolitical drama between Russia and US. We sent @lorenzoFB to its annual conference in Mexico to try to figure out: Who's afraid of Kaspersky? motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ ... Eric Thomas / @puppycapitalism : Excellent reporting on Kaspersky, which rightfully explores their world-class APT research. As an endpoint antivirus vendor, they're so far ahead of McAfee and Symantec on every level, but on the other hand, OMG RUSSIA motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ ... Robert Hackett / @rhhackett : This is a great and timely look at @kaspersky and its Security Analyst Summit by @lorenzoFB @motherboard.

Noah's Wired story: wired.com/2012/07/ff_kas... The Grugq / @thegrugq : In-depth piece on Kaspersky and SAS from Motherboard.
