In a farewell gesture to its loyal customer base, Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky is offering existing U.S. users a free 6-month subscription to select security solutions.
“With Kaspersky leaving the U.S., we’d like to pay you back with the least we can: gifting you a selection of our security solutions for free for 6 months,” reads the message.
The company also provides a short list of general tips that can help users avoid trouble and keep safer:
- remember to always back up your data
- be wary of links and double-check their source before clicking
- protect your identity online, change passwords regularly, and keep them long and complex
The move comes after Kaspersky faced scrutiny from the U.S. government, ultimately leading to its exit from the market.
