OFAC Updates, Deletes Entries on SDN List

The Office of Foreign Assets Control on April 22 updated the entry for North Korean cyber-criminal group Lazarus Group. OFAC updated the Lazarus Group entry to include "three additional virtual currency wallet addresses" linked to the entity, an agency spokesperson said April 22. "Identification of these wallets will make clear to other VC actors that by transacting with them, they risk exposure to U.S. sanctions," the spokesperson said.

OFAC also deleted more than 10 entries on its Specially Designated Nationals List, including people and entities located in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina. The entries were deleted due to behavior change, the spokesperson said.
