The US Is Banning Kaspersky
This move has been coming for a long time.
The Biden administration on Thursday said itβs banning the company from selling its products to new US-based customers starting on July 20, with the company only allowed to provide software updates to existing customers through September 29. The banβΒthe first such action under authorities given to the Commerce Department in 2019Ββfollows years of warnings from the US intelligence community about Kaspersky being a national security threat because Moscow could allegedly commandeer its all-seeing antivirus software to spy on its customers.
