🚨 U.S. Treasury Sanctions Russian Hosting Provider for Aiding Crypto Cybercrime 🛡️💻

On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Aeza Group LLC, a Russia-based bulletproof hosting provider, for enabling global cybercriminal operations. 🌐💥

🔒 Key Details:

• Aeza offered resilient hosting infrastructure for ransomware, data theft, and cyberattacks

• Sanctions extend to Aeza International Ltd. (UK) and affiliated entities

• OFAC also flagged a TRON address: TU4tDFRvcKhAZ1jdihojmBWZqvJhQCnJ4F tied to Aeza’s illicit payment infrastructure

🧠 Why It Matters:

• This move targets cybercrime infrastructure — not just threat actors

• Follows OFAC’s strategy to disrupt the backend systems that allow criminal networks to thrive

• Builds on earlier actions (e.g., ZServers sanctions in Feb 2025)

📉 The crackdown signals increasing scrutiny of crypto-related service providers who aid in shielding malicious actors.
