Can’t have competence now can we?

Competence, yes. Trust, no. To use a Hungarian proverb: it’s like having a goat guard the cabbages.

That is so much better than the fox guarding the hen-house, I like it!

I hate cabbages. But I get the point. Thought kaspersky was Czech. Thanks

Competence like trusting a Moscow-headquartered company that’s helped Russia develop spy drones for its illegal invasion of Ukraine to scan your government’s systems with its proprietary, frequently updated AV? By that definition, sure, this decision was “incompetent”.
