The US Department of Justice announced indictments of nine Iranian nationals for stealing more than 31 terabytes of data from over 140 universities, 30 companies, and five government agencies in the US as well as victims in 21 other countries. The alleged hackers worked on behalf of the Iranian government’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard, under the guise of an Iranian company called the Mabna Institute, which first launched the attacks in 2013. Some 8,000 professors’ accounts were hacked, and their stolen credentials and email passed to the IRGC.”]
