The Council of the European Union has adopted restrictive measures against three entities and two individuals responsible for cyberattacks targeting EU member states and their partners.
Two of the sanctioned entities are Chinese companies:
- Integrity Technology Group has regularly supplied products used to compromise and gain unauthorized access to devices in EU member states.
- Anxun Information Technology has provided hacking services targeting critical infrastructure and key functions of these countries.
The third sanctioned company is the Iranian firm Emennet Pasargad, which illegally obtained access to a database of French subscribers and advertised its sale on the dark web. The group also compromised digital billboards to spread disinformation during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
These measures are part of the EU’s broader efforts to strengthen cybersecurity and respond to malicious cyber activities targeting its institutions and member states.
