On Friday, Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky shared a screenshot on Twitter of what he says is a letter from an “unnamed Twitter employee,” who explained that the company’s ads were banned from Twitter because it “operates using a business model that inherently conflicts with acceptable Twitter Ads business practices.” Kaspersky said the company learned of the ban in January.In fact, he headed his letter with a quote from Game of Thrones character Tyrion Lannister: "When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say." Elsewhere he wrote: "Twitter is playing into the hands of cybercriminals when it hinders the delivery of important information on protection from cyberthreats." Kaspersky Lab has denied any links to the Russian government, and in late 2017 announced a series of transparency initiatives that include an independent review of its source code, and opening “transparency centers” in Asia, the U.S., and Europe between 20. “The risk that the Russian government, whether acting on its own or in collaboration with Kaspersky, could capitalize on access provided by Kaspersky products to compromise federal information and information systems directly implicates U.S.
“The Department is concerned about the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence and other government agencies, and requirements under Russian law that allow Russian intelligence agencies to request or compel assistance from Kaspersky and to intercept communications transiting Russian networks,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. Department of Homeland Security issued a ban on the software for all federal agencies. agencies from using Kaspersky Lab security software, which came several months after the U.S. In December of 2017, President Donald Trump signed a law banning U.S.
The ban, confirmed by Twitter to Reuters, marks an escalation of the backlash against Kaspersky Lab, which has come under intense scrutiny over the past year.
