Apple Security Bounty awards may not be paid to you if you are in any U.S. embargoed countries or on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or any other restricted party lists.

Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They're not getting their money.

Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I'm not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.

"Apple refuses to send money to security company inside of embargoed country, to maintain compliance with USA law."

This is not really a story, is it.

I worked for an Australian company, that was bought by an American company. Instantly we were required to do business as per American law, such as embargo's. We lost many customers (businesses) that honestly had nothing to do with the actual reason for the embargos. For example Iran has an American embargo because of nuclear refinement, but we just wanted to sell "knives and forks" to them. Nope - they might use those forks in their refinement centrifuges... This is what happens (but also why embargos work).

Kaspersky is Russian owned, so the hacks were discovered by Russian [whitehat] hackers. I'll bet that Apple had no ability to do "business" with the company, even if it wanted to, since Russia is currently under embargo due to the Ukraine conflict.

Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it's own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship, things would probably work out better for everyone in Russia.

"refused". Okay, headline.

„Apple doesn’t want to send money to russia which is also illegal”
