The United States has intensified its efforts to counteract Russian disinformation campaigns by imposing sanctions on two individuals, Ilya Gambashidze and Nikolai Tupikin, and two entities involved in such activities. On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department, with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), announced these sanctions, accusing them of supporting disinformation efforts directed by the Russian government. These efforts included a 'Doppelganger' campaign that impersonated news websites, staged videos, and created fake social media accounts to influence European and U.S. audiences. The sanctions also encompassed two crypto addresses associated with the sanctioned individuals, highlighting the financial aspect of the disinformation campaigns. Additionally, the discovery of the AcidPour malware, targeting telecoms networks in Ukraine, was linked to these sanctioned entities.
