As a result of cyberattacks, the total losses of American citizens and companies amounted to $ 16.8 million.
Two Russian citizens are included in the American sanctions list, the US Treasury reported on September 16.
Today, in coordination with the US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned two Russians for their involvement in a complex phishing campaign in 2017 and 2018 that targeted two American clients and one a foreign provider of services [in the field of] virtual assets, "- said in the message. As a result of these cyber attacks, the total losses of American citizens and companies amounted to $ 16.8 million.
Mentioned are Muscovite Dmitry Karasavidi (born 1985) and a resident of Voronezh Danil Potekhin (born 1995).
According to the indictment of the US Department of Justice, Danil Potekhin has created many web domains that mimic legitimate virtual exchanges (a tactic known as spoofing that exploits Internet users' trust in well-known companies to trick their personal information). By logging into a fake website, people unwittingly passed on their information to Potekhin and those associated with him. Karasavidi is accused of laundering illegally obtained funds using his personal account.
Earlier the day before, the United States imposed sanctions against three Russians and one Ukrainian citizen in connection with the case of "interference" in the American elections.
Anton Andreev, Darya Dmitrievna Aslanova, Artem Mikhailovich Lifshits and Andriy Leonidovich Derkach, a citizen of Ukraine, are included in the list of people suspected by the United States of involvement in cybercrimes. All three Russians are residents of St. Petersburg, a citizen of Ukraine is from Kiev. Non-factional deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Derkach previously published recordings of conversations in which voices similar to the voices of former US Vice President Joseph Biden and ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko are heard.
