The US Commerce Department has added the names of four more companies to its notorious “entity list”, most notably Israel’s NSO Group, and Russia’s Positive Technologies (PT), alleging that they act against US National security or foreign policy interests.
Reuters explains the blacklist restricts the engagement between US-based companies and the companies in the list. Specifically, the move will make it harder for US cybersecurity researchers to divulge information about computer vulnerabilities with the companies in the blacklist.
