Kaspersky Anti-Virus Source Code Leaks Online | available for download

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Source Code Leaks Online
available for free download
The source code for one of Kaspersky's security suite products has been leaked online. You can download it from torrent and file hosting. websites for free.
It is reported that these sources were stolen from Kaspersky Lab in 2008 and the last changes made to them date from December 2007. The Kaspersky source code that recently made its way onto public websites was leaked by a former employee of the antivirus vendor, who is already serving a prison sentence for intellectual property theft. The former worker was subsequently arrested and sentenced to three years in jail, to be followed by another three of supervised release.
The code is written in C++ and Delphi and covers the anti-virus engine, as well as the anti-phishing, anti-dialer, anti-spam, parental control, and other modules. Kaspersky stressed the security of its current products was not at risk because they only contained small parts of the leaked code which didn't concern protection functions.
We don't know yet to what version of Kaspersky's security suite the sources actually correspond to, but 8.0 is the most likely candidate at this point.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
