The US Treasury has sanctioned a crypto wallet containing $350,000 tied to the alleged cybercrime hosting service Aeza Group.
The US Treasury has sanctioned the Russia-based Aeza Group, along with its top brass and a crypto wallet connected to the service, for allegedly hosting ransomware and info-stealers.
Aeza Group, a bulletproof hosting (BPH) services provider, allegedly sells access to specialized servers and other computer infrastructure to help cyber criminals conduct ransomware campaigns and steal sensitive info, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said on Tuesday.
OFAC’s sanctions also include an address with $350,000 in crypto, multiple Russian and UK-based companies, and four Russian nationals who allegedly partly own or are executives at Aeza.
