Iran Hacking Crew Charged with Global Cyber Theft | US News
Description
The U.S. Justice Department just indicted 17 members of an Iran-linked hacking crew accused of launching a decade-long cyber espionage campaign targeting over 140 American universities and critical institutions worldwide — all allegedly for the benefit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. These hackers stole research, sold login credentials, and profited from intellectual property theft. With new charges adding eight more suspects to the original 2018 indictment, prosecutors are warning that no one is safe from U.S. justice — especially when it comes to foreign cyberattacks that threaten national security and innovation. The State Department is even offering up to $10 million for tips leading to five key suspects.
