Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) visited at least 12 of Kaspersky Lab's US staff living in the United States, asking them questions about the company's activities as part of the agency’s counterintelligence investigation.

According to NBC News, FBI agents visited the homes of several employees of the company on the US East and West coasts of 27 June.

It is not known whether there is a link between these visits by agents and the bureau investigation. Russia's intervention in the US presidential election. But the US authorities have long shown interest in the activities of Kaspersky Lab.

The “Laboratories” software for cyber security is widely used in the USA, and the company’s owner, billionaire Evgeny Kaspersky, has close ties with some high-ranking officials in Russian intelligence. In 1987, he graduated from the Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science, which was sponsored and supported by the KGB.

In 2015, Kaspersky Lab paid 11 250 dollars to former national security adviser Michael Flynn for advice on cybersecurity, but according to sources, this fact did not interest the FBI agents, despite the fact that Flynn was involved in a possible government relationship Donald Trump with Russia.

The FBI noted that they have no complaints about the company's employees. Agents simply collected facts about how the workflow proceeds at Kaspersky Lab, namely: what data about work in the US is transferred to Russia.

In response, representatives of the company stated that it has no connections with any state and will never engage in cyber espionage in favor of any country.

“Our company has 20 years of experience in the security industry and has always complied with the highest ethical standards,” said Kaspersky Lab.
