US Treasury Sanctions BPH Provider Aeza Group

The US Treasury (OFAC), coordinated with the UK NCA, designated Aeza Group — a St. Petersburg-based bulletproof hosting provider — along with affiliates and four individuals, for facilitating ransomware, infostealer, and darknet marketplace operations. The designation cites Aeza’s support for groups such as BianLian, Lumma Stealer, RedLine, and BlackSprut, and includes cryptocurrency wallet addresses and deposit flows used to receive payouts and cash out services, highlighting Aeza as a critical infrastructure node in cybercriminal ecosystems.
