    (CNN Business)The US Commerce Department on Wednesday blacklisted
    Israeli firms NSO Group and Candiru, accusing the companies of
    providing spyware to foreign governments that "used these tools to
    maliciously target" journalists, embassy workers and activists.

    Commerce officials added the Israeli firms to its so-called "entity
    list," effectively banning the companies from buying software
    components from US vendors without a license.
