Faramarz Shahi Savandi, 34, and Mohammad Mehdi Shah Mansouri, 27, are each charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. They are accused of creating the SamSam ransomware that helped them collect about $6 million in Bitcoin ransom. SamSam has caused about $30 million in damages to private businesses, as well as municipalities such as Atlanta and Newark. Unlike other ransomware attacks, SamSam appeared more deliberate, with the attackers willing to spend up to 72 hours mapping the network and attempting to locate the back-up and recovery files to ensure those were also encrypted.”]
