The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against 17 individuals from Iran for allegedly conducting a widespread cyber hacking campaign targeting hundreds of institutions both inside and outside the United States. The attacks involved the theft of over 31 terabytes of academic and intellectual property data. The hackers targeted more than 144 American universities and 178 foreign universities, as well as multiple companies and government agencies. It is believed that the accused are linked to the "Mabna Institute" in Iran, which Washington accuses of managing hacking operations since 2013, some of which have been carried out on behalf of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian interests. The network also stole and hacked into the accounts of academics, government officials, and companies, selling some of the stolen data in Iran, and using it for extortion efforts and facilitating unauthorized access to electronic libraries. The Department offered a reward of up to $10 million for information on the whereabouts of five of the defendants, while the charges against them are not final until their guilt is proven in court.
