Cracks appear in the Biden administration over sanctions on cyber-security firm

  • Wall Street Journal with the report on Kaspersky

Journal (may be gated) citing unnamed people familiar with the matter:

  • The Biden administration is divided over whether to impose sanctions on Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity giant
  • The White House’s National Security Council has pressed the Treasury Department to ready the sanctions
  • While Treasury officials have been working to prepare the package, sanctions experts within the department have raised concerns over the size and scope of such a move. The company’s software is used by hundreds of millions of customers across the world, making it difficult to enforce the sanctions.
