Treasury sanctions 10 people and a center tied to North Korean IT fraud

The Treasury Department says the operation uses stolen identities and fake résumés to secure jobs at U.S. and allied companies.
Among those sanctioned are Russian financial intermediary Vitold Viktorovich Obertas and North Korean delegation leader Kim Ki Hyok.
The Russia-based First Financial and Technical Development Center and six of its operatives were also designated.
U.S.-linked property belonging to those designated is blocked, and Americans and U.S. residents are generally barred from doing business with them.
