Would you trust these guys?

The Inquirer is alleging that Kaspersky.com has been hacked.

..."ANTI-VIRUS firm Kaspersky Labs has had its US website violated by an anonymous hacker who claims to have gained access to the company's customer database"...

..."The hacker's discretion may be a very lucky break for Kaspersky, especially as the hacker boasted he'd been able to gain access to users accounts, activation codes and even personal data, backing up his claims with several screenshots of the different tables available in the database"...

..."...almost every single one of the firm's sites has been hacked in the past few years."...

And from the Kaspersky.com site

..."Why Kaspersky
Kaspersky Internet Security "takes the crown
"...
Oh the irony...

Their AV software is probably the best and most paranoid protection you can buy from generation to generation. As far as I know there's nothing exceptional about any of their other products. Having excellent heuristics for virus detection doesn't make them awesome at preventing SQL injection attacks.
