The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued sanctions against two entities linked to major cyber activities targeting U.S. national security. The sanctions target Yin Kecheng, a Shanghai-based cyber actor involved in a recent compromise of Treasury Department networks, and Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., LTD., a cybersecurity company connected to the notorious Salt Typhoon hacker group. These sanctions are part of the U.S. government’s ongoing efforts to combat the growing threat posed by cyber actors associated with the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
