The Department of Justice unsealed charges on August 18 against 17 individuals tied to the Mabna Institute for hacking campaigns targeting universities, companies, and government agencies. The campaigns, conducted on behalf of Iranian clients including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, began at least as early as 2013 and resulted in the theft of over 31 terabytes of data. A prior March 2018 indictment covered nine of the same individuals, and the State Department offered a $10 million reward.
