Hot Take:

Looks like the U.S. Treasury is out to freeze the assets off some cyber snoops! Wuhan-based company, Wuhan XRZ, has been fingered as a stylish trench coat for Chinese espionage activities, and now Uncle Sam's got an icy grip on their finances. This is less "007" and more "00-Freeze!" with the Treasury playing the role of a financial Mr. Freeze to APT31's Gotham villainy. Is it a cold move? Sure. But in the cyber game of cat and mouse, it's freeze tag, and the Treasury just yelled, "You're it!"
