Uncle Sam sanctions Kaspersky's top bosses – but not Mr K himself

The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC sanctioned 12 senior Kaspersky Lab executives—while excluding the CEO and the company itself—citing national security risks, as the Commerce Department moved to ban Kaspersky products and services in the United States and placed related entities on the Entity List. These coordinated measures, framed under executive orders targeting Russia’s technology sector, restrict U.S. persons and institutions from dealings with the named individuals and highlight longstanding concerns that Kaspersky could be compelled by the Russian government to misuse its software.
