On May 28, 2024, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Chinese national Yunhe Wang and two co-conspirators for orchestrating a botnet scheme that compromised over 19 million IP addresses across nearly 200 countries. This operation facilitated cybercrimes, including financial fraud and identity theft, leading to $5.9 billion in losses to U.S. government programs such as the CARES Act.
