US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced a visa restriction policy aimed at foreign nationals involved in cybercrime or cyber-enabled offences. The measure is intended to deny entry to people considered responsible for, or complicit in, criminal networks operating online, including those linked to sextortion.

The article describes the policy as targeting individuals connected to such crimes, but the supplied text does not specify how many people may be affected or name particular countries or groups.
