The well-known security and antivirus company Kaspersky has been blacklisted by the United States. For the first time, a Russian company has been added to the blacklist of Chinese companies, including Huawei.

 Kaspersky has been added to the Covered List, which was previously added by the United States to Huawei and ZTE. According to the FCC, Kaspersky's products have been banned in the United States due to global risks. It should be noted that the companies included in this list cannot receive support from the $ 8 billion fund of the FCC. China Telecom and China Mobile International USA were recently added to the list. A total of eight companies banned in the United States are on the list. Kaspersky said in a statement that the US ban was unfounded and a purely political move. They also said they were ready to work with the United States and the FCC to address insecurity. Kaspersky was once banned in the United States in 2017. The main reason for the decision taken by then-President Trump was allegations that the Russian secret service wanted to steal information about the United States through Kaspersky. For this reason, the use of Kaspersky products in government agencies was banned.
