July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday announced a new visa restriction policy that he said would target individuals responsible for or complicit in cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes.
Immediate family members of individuals engaged in such activities may also be subjected to visa restrictions, Rubio added in a statement released by the U.S. State Department.
