U.S. Slaps Sanctions on Chinese Cyber Villain

The U.S. has sanctioned Sichuan Silence Information Technology and its rogue researcher, Guan Tianfeng, for a 2020 cyber heist that breached 81,000 Sophos firewalls worldwide, including 23,000 stateside. Treasury's crackdown freezes their assets and tosses a $10 million reward into the mix for tips on Guan, now chilling on the FBI's Cyber Most Wanted list. This bold move highlights the ongoing battle against cyber espionage, proving that digital skulduggery won’t go unnoticed.
