Forecast Trend Report by Period

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has designated Russia-based firm Operation Zero and related individuals for sanctions over allegations they illegally traded hacking tools developed for U.S. government use.

According to the Treasury on the 24th (local time), the hacking technology was originally developed by a defense contractor for use by U.S. government agencies, and an employee of the contractor is believed to have stolen the technology and sold it to Operation Zero.

The transaction was reportedly paid in cryptocurrency worth several million dollars. However, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) did not disclose the specific cryptocurrency addresses used in the deal.

The sanctions are seen as targeting both the illicit leakage of military and intelligence technologies and the problem of cross-border transactions conducted via crypto assets.
