  • OFAC sanctioned Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., a Chinese cybersecurity company, and Yin Kecheng, a Shanghai-based cyber actor.

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on the Chinese cybersecurity firm I-Soon, also known as Anxun, for its alleged involvement in cyber espionage activities targeting various sectors including government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. The sanctions were announced following a significant data leak that exposed I-Soon's operations, revealing how the company was involved in hacking campaigns against entities in the U.S., Taiwan, India, and other countries.

The Treasury's move aims to disrupt the financial operations of I-Soon, thereby limiting its capacity to conduct further cyberattacks.
