PARIS: Sometime in 2014, a group of analysts walked into the office of Eugene Kaspersky , the ebullient founder of Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, to deliver some sobering news. "They immediately came to my office," Kaspersky recalled, "and they told me that they have a problem. "It must be deleted," Kaspersky says he told them.The incident, recounted by Kaspersky during a brief telephone interview on Monday and supplemented by a preliminary timeline provided by company officials, could not be immediately corroborated. He noted that Kaspersky was pitching itself at the time to government clients in the United States and may not have wanted the risk of having classified documents on its network. "It makes sense that they pulled those up and looked at the classification marking and then deleted them,'' said Williams.
