Kaspersky Labs Exits US Market Following Ban
Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
Russian antivirus firm Kaspersky Labs is exiting the US market following a ban by the Biden administration, citing national security risks due to Moscow's influence over the company. The firm will wind down its US operations starting July 20, 2024, and has already stopped selling its products in the country. The ban restricts sales, updates, and licensing of Kaspersky software, with violators facing fines. Kaspersky denies the allegations and plans to explore legal options to contest the ban.
