According to krebsonsecurity.com, Network Solutions has seized more than 700 domain names “belonging to various Syrian entities, including a prominent Syrian hacker group and sites associated with the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad”.

According to the story the seizures all occurred within a three- to four-day period in mid-April.

“The apparently coordinated action ended with each of the site’s registration records being changed to include Web.com’s Florida address, as well as the notation “OFAC Holding.”

OFAC is short for the Office of Foreign Assets Control, an office of the U.S. Treasury Department‘s  Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. OFAC administers and enforces U.S. economic trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, including Syria.”

“The domain seizures came to my attention after reading a report produced last month by HP‘s security and research team, which noted that individuals associated with a pro-Assad hacker group known as Syrian Electronic Army were complaining that NetworkSolutions had seized their domains, including syrian-es.com, syrian-es.net and syrian-es.org.”

“The vast majority of the 700+ domains were hosted at Internet addresses assigned to the Syrian Computer Society (SCS).

We have covered stories before when domain names that were on the OFAC list were seized by Registrars.

Here is a quote from the story:

“US companies need to be aware of our sanctions program,”  Treasury’s Sullivan said. “A very important part of doing business is that they do not enter into financial transactions with sanctioned parties. And OFAC is very active about pursuing enforcement cases where they need to happen.”
