The State Department on Thursday announced new visa restrictions for individuals linked to foreign cybercrime networks and their immediate family members. Rubio also discussed scam centers with the Cambodia’s foreign minister on Thursday, the State Department said. The new visa restrictions target individuals “responsible for, or complicit in, cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime, such as those involved in cyberscams, and sextortion,” Rubio said Thursday. Visa restrictions are not a new tactic for the State Department. In February 2024, the agency announced visa restrictions for people “involved in the misuse of commercial spyware,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at the time.
