U.S. Department of Commerce wants to restrict export of “intrusion software” to prevent foreign adversaries from acquiring zero-day exploits. The agency earlier this week proposed export controls on intrusion software similar to those imposed on weaponry. If adopted, the rule would require sellers of intrusion software to acquire an export license from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Developers could face felony charges if they sell restricted software without a license to buyers in most nations, with the exception of a handful of allies. The Commerce Department is seeking public comment on the proposed rule by July 20.”]
