The United States on Monday announced a new visa restriction policy for those it said were misusing commercial spyware. The policy announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken will allow the State Department to impose visa restrictions for individuals believed to have been involved in the misuse of commercial spyware, as well as for those who facilitate such actions and benefit from it. The policy will also apply to investors and operators of the commercial spyware believed to be misused, a senior U.S. official said, adding that at least 50 U.S. officials have been targeted by commercial spyware in recent years.
