The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) recently sanctioned two Iranian companies, Mehrsam Andisheh Saz Nik (MASN) and Dadeh Afzar Arman (DAA), and four individuals for their involvement in cyberattacks on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Cyber Electronic Command (IRGC-CEC). These cyberattacks, which occurred from at least 2016 to April 2021, targeted over a dozen U.S. companies and government entities, primarily through spear-phishing and malware.
The Department of Justice (DoJ) has unsealed indictments against these individuals, charging them with multiple crimes including conspiracy to commit computer fraud and wire fraud. These charges stem from their roles in a multi-year hacking campaign that compromised over 200,000 employee accounts, primarily of defense contractors and other government entities.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of State has offered a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of the defendants. This action reflects the U.S. government's ongoing efforts to combat cyber threats and protect national security.
