Washington, A bipartisan group of US Senators have written to the Trump administration seeking action against three India-based companies that allegedly hacked and stole data from thousands of Americans and US companies.
These companies conducted widespread hacking campaigns targeting private equity firms, pharmaceutical companies, and more than 1,000 attorneys across major US law firms to manipulate ongoing litigation, the Senators said, according to investigations by Reuters and The Citizen Lab.
The Indian companies have ongoing lawsuits against US technology and media companies, including Google, Meta, Microsoft and The New Yorker, to silence criticism and bury facts about their illegal hacking campaigns, they said.
Commerce Department Targeting Tech Firms with Entity List Inclusion
The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security is facing calls to include three specific companies on the Entity List. This move aims to restrict these firms’ access to American software, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity tools. Such restrictions are intended to limit the companies’ operational capabilities in the technology sector.
