US sanctions 12 Kaspersky Lab execs for working in Russian tech sector

The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC sanctioned 12 Kaspersky Lab executives under E.O. 14024 for operating in Russia’s technology sector, coinciding with a U.S. ban on Kaspersky sales and updates; the Commerce Department also added multiple Kaspersky entities to the Entity List. These actions freeze any U.S.-held assets and restrict transactions for the named individuals, but do not sanction Kaspersky Lab, its subsidiaries, or CEO Eugene Kaspersky. The article lists the sanctioned leaders and notes that Kaspersky has been contacted for comment.
