Abstract generation in progress

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on the Russia-based Aeza Group, along with its leaders and a related cryptocurrency wallet, for allegedly providing ransomware hosting services and stealing information. Aeza Group, a cybersecurity hosting provider, is accused of selling access to servers to cybercriminals. The sanctions include an address with 350,000 USD in cryptocurrency and four related Russian citizens.

OFAC stated that Aeza used a payment processor to receive funds for hosting services, obscuring the ability to track deposits. The board of directors of Aeza is also being sanctioned, with Knyazev managing the business after two other co-owners were arrested. All assets in America related to Aeza are frozen.
