Kaspersky Lab has put its partnership with Europol on pause after MEPs passed a motion describing the firm’s software as malicious and calling for a ban on its use in EU institutions.

The Moscow-based company has assisted Europol with cyber investigations for more than 20 years. But Eugene Kaspersky has now announced on Twitter that his firm will be freezing cooperation with the police force and all other EU agencies.
