Candiru, another Israeli company, was added to the list as well. Candiru sells DevilsTongue surveillance malware to governments across the world and was founded by engineers who had left NSO. The State Department revealed some more detail as to why the two companies were added, stating that the pair developed and supplied spyware that was later used to maliciously target unknowing individuals. The third entity added to the trade ban was Russia’s Positive Technologies, which was sanctioned in April.
