The US State Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on hackers involved in cyberattacks against US critical infrastructure at the direction of foreign governments. The initiative is presented as part of the Rewards for Justice program, a division of the State Department that searches for individuals who pose a threat to US national security. The focus is on the Shahid Hemmat group, which, according to the department, operates under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Four Iranian hackers - Manuchehr Akbari, Amir Hosein Hoseini, Mohammad Hosein Moradi, and Mohammad Reza Rafatinezhad - have been named as key figures in the group. According to the State Department, the attackers organized large-scale cyberattacks on the US defense sector and international transportation networks. The hackers’ actions are classified as violations of the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The Shahid Hemmat group has also been found to be working with other individuals and organizations associated with the IRGC, including Mohammad Bagher Shirinkar, Mehdi Lashgarian, and Alireza Shafieh Nasab. The front companies involved include Emennet Pasargad, Dadeh Afzar Arman (DAA), and Mehrsam Andisheh Saz Nik (MASN).
