From www.bleepingcomputer.com: Australia’s government has banned all Kaspersky Lab products and web services from its systems, citing significant security risks related to foreign interference, espionage, and sabotage.

The directive requires all non-corporate Commonwealth entities to remove Kaspersky products and prevent future installations, with an exemption only for essential national security functions.

Kaspersky has refuted these claims, arguing that the decision is politically motivated and not based on any specific evidence.
