The United States has imposed sanctions on two members of the Russian hacktivist group Cyber Army of Russia Reborn. The sanctions were announced by the U.S. Treasury Department and the State Department on Friday, citing the individuals' roles in cyber operations targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. These operations included breaches of industrial control systems, such as a water facility in Texas. The group was previously known for low-level DDoS attacks against Ukraine and its allies. The U.S. government emphasized that cyber operations impacting critical infrastructure pose an elevated risk of harm to the public and will not be tolerated.
