Barclays stopped offering free Russian anti-virus software

in #software7 years ago

A British bank Barclays has stopped giving free Russia based anti-virus software, Kaspersky after British National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC) issued a warning against the use software.

Since 2008, the bank has provided free Kaspersky software to its customer to protect them from being hacked, and it is estimated that more than 290,000 customers might have installed the software on their devices.

Yesterday, Barclays has emailed 290,000 online customers about their decision to cease the use of the anti-virus as a  'precautionary' measure.

Whereas, Kaspersky has denied all the allegations against them, and said they 'never helped… any government in the world, including Russia, with its cyber-espionage or offensive cyber efforts'.
