Kaspersky are already firmly under the full control of the state, selling anything is redundant. The whole video comes off as a massive flex, giving off the same vibes as athletes representing the country at the Olympics.

I was disappointed that nobody in the audience dared to ask the obvious question of how much time has passed between disclosing the vulnerability to the state agencies and Apple. I very much doubt the state didn't seize the opportunity to use the exploit against its enemies first and tactically disclose it later. If anything, the talk demonstrates that if they opted to disclose such a valuable exploit, they could afford to because they have the capability to discover more and have other exploits that did yet not outlive their use. I bet there is an interesting story behind the talk, hopefully, the details will eventually surface up.
