Russia bans cybersecurity company Recorded Future

The article gives background on Russia’s undesirable organizations law, compares the action to past measures against firms like Kaspersky, and notes Recorded Future’s recent acquisition by Mastercard, but includes no technical cyber threat details or indicators of compromise.
