The U.S. has charged 17 Iranians, alleged members of a hacking-for-hire company called Mabna Institute, involved in years-long operations that stole data from American organizations.
Nine of the defendants were previously charged in a March 2018 indictment for hacking more than 300 universities and private companies.
The U.S. Justice Department (DoJ) has also announced rewards of up to $10 million for information leading to the location of five of the 17 Iranian defendants.
