US ANNOUNCES SANCTIONS FOR KASPERSKY ANTIVIRUS EXECUTIVES

Following the recent announcement of a total ban on Kaspersky, the
Russian-developed antivirus software in the US, the Treasury has issued
sanctions against twelve of the company’s executives.



The individuals in question are high up in the business, with six present in
Kaspersky’s C-suite, and four of those sit on the board. The rest are known to
be senior managers and even vice presidents inside the company.



Existing Kaspersky users in the US are warned that updates to the software will
stop on September 29, 2024, rendering the software near-obsolete in the fast
moving world of malware threats. 





KASPERSKY SANCTION CONSEQUENCES

AO Kaspersky Lab, OOO Kaspersky Group and Kaspersky Ltd. have, as associated
entities, been designated a national security risk moving forward, owing to
fears that the software could be used to steal sensitive information from users,
opening the company up to accusations of espionage.

The Treasury’s Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian
Nelson, talked up the government’s “commitment [...] to [protecting] our
citizens against malicious cyber threats,” citing accountability as a key
motivator.



“The United States will take action where necessary to hold accountable those
who would seek to facilitate or otherwise enable these activities," he added.

Increased scrutiny of the company, which began with an investigation and likely
culminates with this action by the Treasury, follows the protracted
Russia-Ukraine conflict and fears that U.S citizens could become targets of
identity theft after the country’s government has vocally supported Ukraine.
