WASHINGTON – Democratic lawmakers urged the Biden administration to take further action against Israeli spyware firm NSO Group, days after the company was blacklisted alongside fellow Israeli spyware firm Candiru.
The two companies were added on November 3 to the “Entity List” of foreign companies engaging in malicious cyber activities contrary to the United States’ national security or foreign policy interests.
A group of Democrats in the House, Tom Malinowski, Katie Porter, Joaquin Castro, and Anna Eshoo, who led the push for the administration to act against NSO following investigative reporting into its Pegasus spyware, praised the administration for blacklisting the firms as a victory for human rights in their joint statement.
