On Monday, the United States sanctioned Wuhan Xiaoruizhi Science and Technology Company, Limited, a Ministry of State Security front company based in Wuhan, China, that has served as cover for multiple malicious cyber operations.
The Department of Justice also unsealed indictments of Zhao Guangzong and Ni Gaobin, two Chinese nationals affiliated with Wuhan XRZ, and five others, for their roles in “malicious cyber operations targeting U.S. entities that operate within U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, directly endangering U.S. national security,” the Treasury Department said in a press release.
