Justice Department seizes infrastructure used by cyber scam and criminal marketplace

The Justice Department seized cloud infrastructure linked to the Huione Group, which U.S. officials say operated a prolific criminal marketplace (Huione/Haowang Guarantee) supporting scams, sale of stolen data, malware-enabled thefts, trafficking schemes, and laundering of scam proceeds; the Treasury added sanctions and listed successor entities while prior actions included a major bitcoin seizure and extraditions/arrests.
