Former NSA Deputy Director Rick Ledgett on the Kaspersky kerfuffle and what the company can do to restore trust,https://twitter.com/lawfareblog/status/922507935468675072 …
Can you clarify whether Ledgett is really claiming that NSA hacking tools aren't malware? Or did he declassify something more?

This piece underwent pre-publication review, so I'm confident there are no inadvertent declassifications.
-
I believe he is responding to his reading of nature of the public accusations But he was DDIRNSA for the period in question.
-
Yes. But structure of the piece says: 1) Kaspersky got NSA files 2) Kaspersky used AV to get non-malware Which seems ... curious.
-
Yes but may be referencing knowledge/assumptions about specific files at issue, such that it's not broader claim about NSA tools generally
-
Except it's not backed up by the public record.
