Kaspersky should be worried about what Russia sells to authoritarian regimes...

It's funny a Russian-based company complains what other sells to authoritarian regimes. Also if I'm not wrong Kaspersky works with countries like Iran that happily jail and hang women just because they do not accept to be semi-human beings.

And tons of Western weapons are sold to Saudi Arabia - British EF-2000, anyone - are cyber weapons different? Otherwise, stop selling them weapons, soccer teams and everything else...

Are there also evidences that Hacking Team sold its products directly, and not that some other law enforcement agency or government didn't turn some of them to "allies" even if not exactly the most human rights compliant ones?

Also are journalist sure companies like Vupen never sold zero days exploits to those regimes, although they leave far less evidence of a targes system than spywares?

Looks like some competitors wish to target Hacking Team - as if it was the only companies developing and selling such tools.
