Malaysia has banned civil servants from using the Waze navigation app over security concerns related to its Israeli origins. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ordered the ban to protect government information and users' personal data from potential misuse by the Israeli regime, according to a statement issued by his office last week. Waze was originally developed in "Israel" before being acquired by Google.
