[QUOTE="ExecutiveOrder, post: 978659, member: 93099"] Perhaps yes, perhaps not, depending on how the world (certificate issuer) reacts to it. While they can just push a sanction, there will be adverse consequences if the sanctions also affect [URL='https://www.kaspersky.com/about/law-enforcement-cooperation']Kaspersky's global partnership against cybercrime[/URL] that was once [URL='https://twitter.com/LiteMods/status/1498733102612504585']mentioned by 'anonymous'[/URL] (about how it doesn't get hit by sanctions yet). It's indeed a Russian company (a multinational company to be exact), Russian CEO & founder, and Russian HQ. Operated by a holding company based in the UK, the Russian owner(s) don't have a controlling interest (majority of the stock). Most of the world's sanctions against Russian people and businesses that are 'irrelevant' will last until the end of the conflict. The website certificate (kaspersky.com) is valid until early-2023, issued to Kaspersky Lab AO (Ltd.) The digital signature of their latest program and components (also from DigiCert) are issued to Kaspersky Lab JSC (Joint Stock Company) and AO, valid until mid-2023. Pretty sure (and I really hope) the war will end shortly in favor of Ukraine and the sanctions will no longer affect the clean part of the world. [/QUOTE]
