The FBI has met with US firms throughout the year to advise against using Kaspersky's cybersecurity products, according to unnamed current and former senior US officials. The US government's allegations that Kaspersky holds deep ties with the American government have not been substantiated. Following cyber attacks on Ukraine's power grid last year, the FBI has focused on briefing energy companies and large tech firms. While companies in the energy sector have cooperated with the government, tech firms have resisted the FBI's advice.
