NEW: U.S. government bans sale of Kaspersky software in the country — both consumers and businesses — due to security and privacy risks from Russian government.

“First of its kind” sales ban starts on July 20. After Sept. 29 Kaspersky can't send updates to U.S. customers.

“Russia has shown it has the capacity, and even more than that, the intent to exploit Russian companies like Kaspersky to collect and weaponize the personal information of Americans. And that’s why we are compelled to take the action that we’re taking today,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a call with reporters.

Kaspersky PR said the company will challenge the ban, denies the allegation that it threatens U.S. national security.
