CNN: US unveils new Russia sanctions over cyberattacks
The US Treasury Department has imposed fresh sanctions on five Russian entities and three individuals, including a firm that’s controlled by Russia’s Federal Security Service. The latest step by the Trump administration comes in response to Russian cyberattacks on the US and its allies, including the NotPetya cyberattack and cyber intrusions of the US energy grid.
The U.S Treasury is using new sanctions to punish Russian firms for jeopardizing our nation’s security. The sanctioned companies worked closely with the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency that replaced the KGB after the fall of communism.
