The Russian Kaspersky lab believes it has become a "pawn" in the geopolitical game between the US and Russia.
The cyber security firm said it had fallen victim to recent sparring between the two countries, with the US government moving to limit its activities.
"By all appearances, Kaspersky Lab happened to be dragged into a geopolitical fight where each side is trying to use the company as a pawn in its game," RIA news agency quoted the company's press service as saying.
