U.S. Treasury: Treasury Sanctions Technology Company for Support to Malicious Cyber Group
Treasury bites back at China: the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Integrity Technology Group, Incorporated (Integrity Tech), a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, for its role in multiple computer intrusion incidents against U.S. victims. These incidents have been publicly attributed to Flax Typhoon, a Chinese malicious state-sponsored cyber group that has been active since at least 2021, often targeting organizations within U.S. critical infrastructure sectors.
Between summer 2022 and fall 2023, Flax Typhoon actors used infrastructure tied to Integrity Tech during their computer network exploitation activities against multiple victims. During that time, Flax Typhoon routinely sent and received information from Integrity Tech infrastructure.

heres a work related question for you, if you are in a position where you can hire consulting companies to help with security work (red/blue/eng/etc):
would it be handy to be able to buy a single day of effort, 7hrs of effort, 1hr reporting, and get a report worth sharing with either partners, customers, or leadership?
I'm thinking of building out a new offering. A one-day triage/best-effort assessment. internal, external, whatevs - dealers choice.
