The US State Department introduced visa restrictions for 13 people related to the development and sale of Pegasus spyware, as well as their immediate family.
The decision is a response to concerns about the misuse of commercial espionage technology, as highlighted in the State Department’s Country Report on Human Rights Practices.
These restrictions will apply to people who contributed to or benefited financially from the misuse of this technology, they explained in their statement.

This measure is part of a broader US government initiative to combat the abuse of commercial spyware.
These visa restrictions were announced following the introduction of a new policy in February 2024 that allows for sanctions to be imposed on individuals involved in the misuse of spyware, e.g. Pegasus, developed by NSO Group.
The State Department emphasizes in its statement the seriousness of this threat to the security and counterintelligence of U.S. personnel and emphasizes the importance of these restrictions as part of efforts to protect human rights and security both domestically and internationally.
