The AEZA group has a headquarters in the Russian St. Petersburg.
OAC stated that Aeza Group provided BPH services to groups of warriors and malware, such as Meduza and Lumma infortaders operators who used hosting for attacks on US defense-industrial and technological companies, as well as other victims.
Infocrats are often used to gather personal identification information, passwords and other confidential credentials from compromised victims. Then these data are often sold at the Darknet Markets for profit, which makes the inverter operators a key element of the ecosystem of cybercrime.

Drugs in Darknet allow you to buy and forward drugs online, which makes them a modern and increasingly significant factor in drug trafficking in the United States and around the world.

“In addition, any entities that belong to, directly or indirectly, individually or in aggregate, are 50 or more percent one or more blocked persons, are also blocked,” the statement was added.
