FCC finally gets around to banning Kaspersky from telco kit
Briefly

The FCC has declared that Kaspersky software poses 'undue and unacceptable risks' to national security, thus prohibiting its use in telecoms equipment.
Timely enforcement of the ban by the FCC means any telecom operators using Kaspersky will require immediate removal of its software before the deadline.
Kaspersky has announced the closure of its US operations, citing the national security ban as the reason, along with offering free updates to current customers.
Despite the allegations, Kaspersky has vehemently denied being a security risk and suggested an independent framework to verify the integrity of its products.
