The US could ban Kaspersky anti virus sales on Thursday, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The US government believes Kaspersky is poses a significant security threat.
The Biden administration is set to ban sales of Kaspersky’s anti virus solution in the US later this week, Reuters has reported. The news agency spoke with a person familiar with the matter who said that an announcement will be made this Thursday due to concerns that the software is being used by critical infrastructure providers as well as state and local governments.
The US government is concerned that Kaspersky may have close ties with the Russian government which is currently waging a war against Ukraine which the US supports.
