Twitter Pulls Kaspersky’s Advertising
Kaspersky Twitter trouble continues. The last twelve months have been rough on Kaspersky, due to speculated relationships between certain company officials and Russian intelligence. The U.S. government was first urged to determine where they were using the security solution. They were then given 90 days to remove the program and find an alternative security program. Shortly thereafter, the private sector was urged to reevaluate their use of the program. Next, Congress issued legislation banning Kaspersky from federal devices.
Since, the company has issued a lawsuit against U.S. Congress, reporting their claims are unsubstantiated and they were not allowed due-process. The Department of Justice is working to dismiss Kaspersky’s lawsuit case.
