The US has revealed it will impose fresh sanctions on five
Russian companies and three Russian individuals, in response to
their alleged role in cyber attacks against the United States.
US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin announced the sanctions,
saying they were to counter “malicious actors” working to “increase
Russia’s offensive cyber-capabilities”.

Those being sanctioned are accused of assisting Russia’s Federal
Security Service (FSB) with both cyber and underwater technologies
to disrupt undersea communications cables.
The BBC reports that those sanctioned will be prohibited
from “any transactions involving the US financial system”, and that
“American citizens and companies cannot do business with the
Russian entities”.
Among the companies being sanctioned is Divetechnoservices,
which has allegedly “procured underwater equipment and diving
systems for the FSB including a submersible craft valued at
$1.5 million”, the Washington Post says.
The individuals facing sanctions are Divetechnoservices owner
Vladimir Kaganskiy, its general director, Aleksandr Tribun, and its
program manager, Oleg Chirikov.
