Kaspersky offers free security software for six months in U.S. goodbye

Kaspersky is exiting the U.S. following its addition to the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List; the company will cease sales and distribution in the U.S., offer six months of free security products to U.S. users, and begin shutting down operations and layoffs. The article warns that U.S. customers may lose automatic updates (reducing product security) and notes a separate bounty announcement for potential remote code issues in Kaspersky Security Center, but it does not provide technical details or report active exploitation.
