US Lawmakers Seek Sanctions for Indian Cyber Firms
Bipartisan US legislators have formally requested that Commerce authorities place three Indian cybersecurity firms on the Entity List, citing evidence of long-term cyber-espionage against American businesses and legal professionals. The lawmakers argue that the companies, identified as Sunkissed Organic Farms, BellTroX, and CyberRoot, have also engaged in aggressive litigation to censor international reporting on their activities.
According to GN geopolitics/cyber (en-US), the bipartisan letter specifically identifies Sunkissed Organic Farms, BellTroX, and CyberRoot as the targets, alleging they have spent over a decade conducting targeted espionage against US legal and corporate entities. The lawmakers also claim these groups have utilized foreign court orders to suppress media coverage, including a global takedown of a Reuters investigation, and note that one associated operative has already faced indictment by the US Justice Department.
