The European Union on Thursday sanctioned six individuals and three entities from Russia, China, and North Korea. This is the first time the bloc has utilized its sanction powers against actors involved in cyber-attacks.

The sanctions include the freezing of assets and a travel ban, with EU “persons and entities forbidden from making funds available to those listed,” the European Council said in a statement.
