According to Wu Blockchain, TRM Labs reports that the U.S. Treasury Department's OFAC has sanctioned FirstVPN, its administrator Dmytro Rashevskyi, and Belarusian 'crypting' service provider Yevgeniy Silayev, accusing them of providing anonymous networks and malware obfuscation tools for ransomware attacks targeting U.S. businesses, hospitals, and government agencies. This action is not aimed at specific ransomware groups but directly targets their infrastructure providers. OFAC also listed 20 related crypto addresses involving BTC, ETH, TRX, LTC, DOGE, DASH, ZEC, and SOL. On-chain tracking by TRM shows that ransomware groups like Anubis and Qilin have directly paid service fees to FirstVPN. https://(wublock123.com)/news/us-sanctions-ransomware-invisible-service-vpn-malware-mixing-tools-64550
