Russian anti-virus maker Kaspersky Lab is suing the U.S. government for its decision to ban the company’s software in federal agencies and departments, according to an open letter written by company founder Eugene Kaspersky. Citing a lack of due process and insufficient evidence relating to the Department of Homeland Security’s Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 17-01, Kaspersky is claiming the U.S. government violated the Administrative Procedures Act and the Fifth Amendment.

John Thune, R-S.D., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, and Bill Cassidy, R-La., presented a series of questions to Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, regarding the company’s past conduct and its plans to protect user data in the future. “Our goal is to understand what steps Uber has taken to investigate what occurred, restore and maintain the […]
