WHOA US Treasury Dept just sanctioned leadership at 🇷🇺Russian #antivirus company #kaspersky.

Comes on heels of yesterday's Commerce Dept. ban on sales of their antivirus to the US.

Huge-but-somewhat-anticipated blow to #Kaspersky whose fortunes in the US have been falling since the 2017 DHS binding directive to remove their products from gov systems.

Fascinating to see if other governments echo some of these actions.
