US sanctions cryptocurrency addresses linked to Russian cyberactivities

The US government sanctioned this week twenty-eight cryptocurrency addresses allegedly associated with entities or individuals linked to Russian cyberattacks or election interference. The sanctions were introduced in an executive order by President Biden that formally announced that the Russian SVR, and its hacking division, commonly known as APT29, The Dukes, or Cozy Bear, were behind the recent SolarWinds supply chain attack. A Pakistani company known as Second Eye Solution (SES) provided fraudulent identities to the Internet Research Agency (IRA) to help them evade US sanctions.
