The Treasury Department has brought new sanctions against members of the Intellexa Consortium, a software developer said to be responsible for developing commercial spyware code.

Intellexa is a network of business entities that have developed computer surveillance software products. The U.S. government has raised concerns about its surveillance technology being sold to hostile foreign actors and has used trade blacklists and sanctions in recent years to disrupt the Intellexa network.
