The recent order to remove Kaspersky products from federal networks impacts almost every government agency within the next 90 days.

The sanctions include actions against "hackers who execute cyber-attacks on American financial institutions.”

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is demanding to know how America's largest telecommunications companies plan to stop hackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in an outdated mobile-data transfer framework that remains fundamental to how cellphones function.

While law enforcement agents were sent to immediately investigate how and why hackers broke into Equifax, other federal agencies, like the Homeland Security Department, were focusing on understanding the threat posed to the larger industry, a senior U.S. official said.

“We want the government, our users and the public to fully understand that having Russian roots does not make us guilty,” Eugene Kaspersky wrote in June.
