US Treasury sanctioned VPN provider 1VPNS and two individuals for supplying infrastructure used in ransomware attacks targeting US hospitals, financial services and municipal governments. The action follows a May 2026 law enforcement takedown and is coordinated with UK sanctions on related actors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell infrastructure—VPN, proxies, hosting, or tooling—to customers you don't fully vet, you're now a sanctions target yourself. Hospitals are sanctioning your entire supply chain; the next wave will hit resellers and integrators.
