| | The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday eased some economic sanctions against Russia, specifically licensing cyber-security sales to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the successor to the KGB, according to official documents. The license, listed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Treasury Department, covers "all transactions and activities" involving the FSB that were prohibited by an earlier executive order.
