Kaspersky develops some of the top ones productτα ασφάλειας στον κόσμο, αλλά αυτό δεν φαίνεται να βοηθάει την εταιρεία στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες. Να υπενθυμίσουμε ότι η Αμερικάνικη κυβέρνηση κατηγόρησε την εταιρεία ότι κρύβει backdoors στο λογισμικό της για να βοηθήσει τη Russia to spy on high profile users.
So a big US distribution chain Best Buy decided to ban the sale of Kaspersky products due to these concerns, removing any software developed by the Russian company from its stores and by clicking here her.
A company spokesman referred to the incident as saying that Kaspersky's story contained "too many unanswered questions", without giving further details.
The decision is not surprising. Earlier this year, it was reported that The FBI was approaching private sector companies για να απαγορεύσει τα products της Kaspersky, στο πλαίσιο μιας εθνικής προσπάθειας κατά της Ρώσικης εταιρείας.
The whole controversy began in July when the US government decided to remove Kaspersky from the approved software list, explaining that the company could cooperate with Russians to spy on users.
Of course, Kaspersky denies all charges and even offered to perform security checks to prove that its software is completely clean. The US government, however, continues its campaign against the company by pressing companies in the public and private sectors not to use these security products.
The latest categories come from Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who revealed in a column of the New York Times that six senior officials, including the CIA and FBI chiefs, voted against the use of Kaspersky software and expressed their concerns about possible backdoors that Russia can use to spy on users.
"In addition to the evidence of direct ties between Eugene Kaspersky and the Russian government, we cannot ignore indirect ties to President Vladimir Putin's conduct of business in Russia, where oligarchs and tycoons have no choice but to cooperation with the Kremlin," he explained.
Users who bought Kaspersky from Best Buy and still have valid licenses will be able to replace them for free with other security products in the next 45 days.
