Additionally, OFAC is sanctioning Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., LTD., a Sichuan-based cybersecurity company with direct involvement in the Salt Typhoon cyber group, which recently compromised the network infrastructure of multiple major U.S. telecommunication and internet service provider companies. Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., LTD. (Sichuan Juxinhe) had direct involvement in the exploitation of these U.S. telecommunication and internet service provider companies. The MSS has maintained strong ties with multiple computer network exploitation companies, including Sichuan Juxinhe. OFAC is designating Sichuan Juxinhe pursuant to E.O. 13694, as further amended by the new E.O. on Strengthening and Promoting Innovation in the Nation’s Cybersecurity, for being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, cyber-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to, a threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of the United States and that have the purpose or effect of harming, or otherwise compromising the provision of services by, a computer or network of computers that support one or more entities in a critical infrastructure sector.

JANUARY 15, 2025. FACT SHEET: New Executive Order on Strengthening and Promoting Innovation in the Nation’s Cybersecurity. Malicious countries and criminals continue to target the United States Government, corporations and individual Americans with cyberattacks. They disrupt critical services, businesses and individual lives, costing billions of dollars and harming national security. This capstone executive order is the result of a review of how these attacks occurred, to understand how to better protect and secure these systems, stay ahead of threats, and make it riskier, costlier and harder for cyber attackers to conduct future attacks. The United States stands alone among major economies in lacking secure, privacy-preserving digital identity infrastructure, leaving Americans exposed to a wave of cybercrime. Indeed, Americans face $56 billion in identity fraud every year and the U.S. Government confronts billions of dollars in fraud in Federal programs due to the lack of secure, usable digital identities. The Executive Order addresses this problem, making Federal programs more efficient, cutting bureaucracy and fraud, helping Americans be safe online, and promoting America’s digital economy. Defending against cyber attackers requires rapidly deploying new technologies. The Executive Order addresses this challenge by promoting the use of new AI-based tools for cyber defense and accelerating the transition to “post-quantum cryptographic” algorithms to resist attacks leveraging quantum computing capabilities.
