White House '''Executive Order 13694''': '''Blocking the Property of Certain Persons Engaging in Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities''' (Apr. 1, 2015) ([https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/04/01/executive-order-blocking-property-certain-persons-engaging-significant-m full-text]).

== Overview ==

This [[Executive Order]] permits the U.S. Government to block the property and interest in property of any person or entity it finds to be responsible for or complicit in, [[cyber]]-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in a significant [[threat]] to the [[national security]], [[foreign policy]], or economic health or financial stability of the United States.

The order declares "significant malicious cyber-enabled activities" a "national emergency" and enables the [[Secretary of the Treasury]] to target foreign individuals and entities that take part in the illicit [[cyberactivity]] for sanctions that could include freezing their financial assets and barring commercial transactions with them.

The [[Treasury Department]]'s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will maintain the list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) as the foreign [[cyber attacker]]s become known.
