US sanctions Russians for cyberattacks and election meddling
The US Department of the Treasury has instituted sanctions against five Russian entities and 19 individuals for their involvement in a number of cyberattacks and online
efforts to interfere with the US presidential election.
The sanctions prohibit US companies and individuals from conducting business with those named by the Treasury Department. "The Administration is confronting and countering malign Russian cyber activity, including their attempted interference in US elections, destructive cyberattacks and intrusions targeting critical infrastructure," Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in a
statement.
"These targeted sanctions are a part of a broader effort to address the ongoing nefarious attacks emanating from Russia. Treasury intends to impose additional CAATSA sanctions, informed by our intelligence community, to hold Russian government officials and oligarchs accountable for their destabilizing activities by severing their access to the US financial system."
Among those being sanctioned is the Internet Research Agency, which US officials have said played a major role in the
Russian campaign to sow political discord during the 2016 election. The Treasury Department notes the IRA's efforts to create
fake online personas and pose as US individuals and organizations, the
ads it bought during the election and the
political rallies it organized and coordinated ahead of and following the election.
Along with the IRA, the Treasury Department sanctioned an additional two entities and 13 individuals who assisted the IRA in some way.
