Nine Iranian nationals were indicted Friday for hacking into over 300 universities in the US and abroad to rip off academic data and intellectual property, according to a newly unsealed Manhattan federal indictment.
The men — who infiltrated 144 American universities and 176 institutions in 21 other countries — worked for the Iran-based company Mabna Institute, which carried out the cyber attacks “at the behest of the government of Iran, specifically the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” according to the court documents.
“The members of the conspiracy compromised thousands of accounts belonging to professors at victim universities and targeted academic data and intellectual property for theft,” according to the indictment, which said the hacks cost the U.S. universities $3.4 billion.
