Malaysia bars civil servants from using Waze over security concerns
Original: waze
Malaysia has banned civil servants from using the Israeli-owned navigation app Waze, citing security concerns, the Jerusalem Post reports. The move affects government employees who rely on the Google-owned app for directions. Waze is widely used worldwide, and a national ban for public staff is an unusual step likely to draw attention from both tech and security observers.
Why now: A government restricting an extremely popular navigation app on security grounds is surprising and affects many public employees.
