While we try to stay away from politics, sometimes those intersect with tech and are worth discussion. That said, I will quote the facts, give it a link, and leave it there. Oh yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Tuesday removed Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab from two lists of approved vendors used by government agencies to purchase technology equipment, amid concerns the cyber security firm's products could be used by the Kremlin to gain entry into U.S. networks.
The action was taken "after review and careful consideration," the spokeswoman said, adding that GSA's priorities "are to ensure the integrity and security of U.S. government systems and networks."
