The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has posted a new and improved list of cyber-related sanctions targeting several Russian individuals and entities.
Among those sanctioned are Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a Russian caterer known as “Putin’s Chef.”
As Bloomberg reports, The U.S. issued financial sanctions against two major Russian intelligence agencies along with a St. Petersburg-based “troll farm” and other Russian citizens and businesses indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on charges of meddling with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The penalties listed Thursday on the Treasury Department’s website follow the February indictment and more than a year of criticism from Democrats and some Republican lawmakers that Trump has been too slow to act against Russia for intruding in the election.
The sanctions cover the Internet Research Agency and all other businesses and entities included in Mueller’s Feb. 16 indictment, which alleged a vast scheme to interfere with the campaign through social media and help President Donald Trump win.
Treasury also points to 2017 ‘NotPetya’ attack, which the U.S. says was “the most destructive and costly cyber-attack in history.”
NotPetya resulted in billions of dollars in damage across Europe, Asia and U.S., disrupted global shipping, trade and medicine production, and rendered several U.S. hospitals unable to create electronic records for more than a week.

One wonders if there are any Russians (or Russian entities) left to sanction?
Apparently there are – Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin said that more Russian officials and oligarchs are to face sanctions.
And for now, the most obvious reaction to these new sanctions is further selling of the Ruble – to one-month lows…
