Marina Vasanovich

Marina Vasanovich was designated by OFAC in April 2026 as part of the Operation Zero sanctions action under the Protecting American Intellectual Property Act (PAIPA), identified as the assistant to principal Sergey Zelenyuk and a functional node in the operation's network. She is one of five individuals and entities designated alongside Zelenyuk and his firm Matrix LLC for acquiring and distributing US government cyber tools stolen by former L3Harris Trenchant executive Peter Williams.

Vasanovich's designation maps the administrative and operational layer of the Operation Zero network: exploit brokerages of this type typically require logistical support for transaction coordination, entity management and communications, and designating assistants as well as principals closes a gap in previous sanctions actions that targeted only the visible operator.

For OFAC's PAIPA enforcement, the inclusion of Vasanovich alongside the primary corporate and individual designees signals that Treasury is applying the full network-mapping approach developed in its sanctions actions against cybercrime and money-laundering networks, rather than limiting the action to the most-public figures.
