What happened
OFAC designated 10 individuals and one entity, including Vitold Viktorovich Obertas, Ilya Aleksandrovich Boykov, Kim Ki Hyok, Kim Hyo Dong and First Financial and Technical Development Center (FFTDC), over DPRK IT worker operations in Russia and elsewhere. The SDN list added eight Ethereum and TRON addresses, and SlowMist's MistTrack shows fund flows to Bybit and HTX deposit addresses, with one Ethereum address listed under both Boykov and Obertas. Defenders should screen wallet interactions against the updated SDN entries and consider IT worker fraud indicators in hiring.
