The US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has added four foreign companies to its Entity List. The decision comes as these companies – two from Israel, and one each from Russia and Singapore – were deemed to act in a way that went against the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. NSO Group and Candiru, the two companies from Israel, reported supplied spyware to foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target government officials, journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and embassy workers.
