Russian espionage-linked Kaspersky software discovered in government agencies, critical infrastructu cipheranarchist ## Reporter 06/27/25 (Fri) 00:21:38 9f32fa No.315137

Critical infrastructure and government agencies were exposed to a Russian cybersecurity product previously linked with state-based espionage, despite a 2017 government directive that instructed public servants not to use that company’s products.

The revelation has been seized on by both the Coalition and the Greens, which have respectively slammed the “critical failure” and “serious security failure”.

The Department of Home Affairs in May 2024 found “critical infrastructure and state agencies” had been exposed to products from Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky.

A broader survey the following June found another instance of its use in a “non-corporate commonwealth entity”, the department revealed.

Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky – operated by a holding company in the UK – was previously alleged to have been implicated with a hack co-ordinated with the Russian state intelligence agency, a claim the company has denied.
