Trump increases sanctions pressure on Russia

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department announced the president's new decision.

As stated in the official statement of the American department, OFAC has added Aeza Group to the sanctions list for its role in "supporting cybercriminal activities directed against victims in the United States and around the world."

In addition, it is indicated that two related companies and four individuals who are managers of Aeza Group have been sanctioned.

In light of recent events, the United Kingdom has also joined the sanctions against Russian cybercriminals.

Trusted Hosting (BPH) providers sell access to specialized servers and other computer infrastructure designed to help cybercriminals, such as extortionists, identity thieves, and drug traffickers, evade detection and resist law enforcement efforts to stop their malicious activities.

It is also worth noting that the Aeza group of companies is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia.
