UANI Applauds Justice Department Action Against Iranian Hacker Network


New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace today applauded the United States Department of Justice for bringing criminal indictments against an Iranian hacker network working at the behest of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). 


"I applaud the Department of Justice for taking swift and decisive action against the Iranian regime's state-sponsored hacking campaign targeting American businesses, universities and government agencies," Ambassador Wallace said. "These charges are unsurprising given the regime's extensive and well-documented history of using cyberwarfare to target its own citizens and foreign entities. Numerous businesses have also fallen victim to intellectual property theft, while others have pulled their investments out of the region due to concerns about the security of proprietary information, trade secrets, and confidential data. 


"Doing business with Tehran will inevitably lead to the hacking and theft of proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential employee and corporate information, personal information, and customer information by Iranian operatives and security agents. Today's announcement serves as a reminder that there remain serious legal, political, financial and reputational risks associated with doing business in Iran, particularly in sectors of the Iranian economy dominated by the IRGC, which remains sanctioned by the U.S. government and the international community as a terrorist organization."
