U.S. prosecutors have indicted 17 members of the Iranian Mabna Institute for a decade-long cyber espionage operation. The group, allegedly working on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard, targeted universities and corporations globally. Over 31.5 terabytes of data were stolen during the campaign, compromising intellectual property and sensitive information. The indictment details a systematic effort to gain unauthorized access to computer systems and networks. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing cyber conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Authorities are seeking the extradition of the accused individuals to face charges in the United States. The stolen data is believed to have been used for various purposes, including research, development, and potential financial gain for the Iranian regime.
