Thanks for connecting the dots, I was doing this research before I found your comment. I knew I had searched for covered telecom equipment last year.

Also, I didn't know the covered list was being updated. Does anyone know what AO Kaspersky is? Is that the official corporate name for the anti-virus Kaspersky?

The prefix “AO” in the name of a Russian business entity is like the suffix “Co.” in English; it’s an abbreviation for aktsionernoye obshchestvo (акционерное общество), joint-stock company.

Yeah, I believe it's their corporate name. Their website lists their copyright as "AO Kaspersky Lab."
