Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Britain, Australia and the United States announced Wednesday that they have made new sanctions against a Russian cybercrime group called Media Land.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Britain's Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office created the sanctions against Media Land and its sister companies: Hypercore Ltd., a front company of Aeza Group LLC; ML Cloud; Media Land Technology; and Data Center Kirishi, the Treasury Department said.
Media Land allegedly operates "bulletproof" hosting services, which enable cybercriminals to engage in ransomware and phishing attacks.
The U.S. Treasury has also sanctioned the top three people who run Media Land and its sister organizations.
