>Nine Iranians working on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hacked the computers of 7998 professors at 320 universities around the world over the past 5 years, an indictment filed by a federal grand jury alleges. The hackers stole 31.5 terabytes of documents and data, including scientific research, journals, and dissertations, the indictment alleges. Their targets also included the United Nations, 30 U.S. companies, and five U.S. government agencies.
>The “massive and brazen cyber assault” is “one of the largest state-sponsored hacking campaigns ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York, where the indictment was filed, said at a press conference this morning. The hacks came to light through investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and reports from victims. “The hackers targeted innovations and intellectual property from our country’s greatest minds,” Berman said, adding that they went after data and research from many fields.
>According to the indictment, 3768 of the hacked professors were at 144 U.S. universities, and the attackers stole data that cost these institutions about $3.4 billion to “procure and access.” The accused allegedly set up an institute in Iran called Mabna that coordinated and paid for the hacks. The defendants then sold the stolen data through two websites, Gigapaper and Megapaper. The institute, the indictment says, aimed to “assist Iranian universities, as well as scientific and research organizations, to obtain access to non-Iranian scientific resources.

They targeted STEM fields.
This is enough for me. The US should nuke Iran. Someone call Bolton now!
No shit? I thought they stole humanities.
(((Iran)))
This is an elaborated psyop by Trump and his team to have a valid reason to trash the Iran deal. This way, Iran will start enriching Uranium, and have a nuke to glass its neighbors soon.
Shit.
> implying everyone else isn't doing the same thing
I wouldn't doubt that this is the work of Israel. They probably just copy pasted their own work and are trying to pretend like it's Iran's.
We UPLINK now.
good thing they didn't get all the important basket weaving, womens studies, and nigger studies courses
nice tunes
False flag. A precursor to a war.
What exactly did they steal which was so valuable to be considered worth stealing?
It's not, the Iranians also hacked us. They duplicated SSL certificates for goverment websites.
If the US does not oblieterate Tehran with nukes after this then america will be officially a cucked country.
(((IRAN)))
How are all their files easily available online?
yay another MOSSAD falseflag!
(((Brazil>>>
>stealing university work
Isn't that mostly all rightfully public knowledge anways? Don't they post all their work in peer reviewed journals for everyone to see?
Israel was also targeted:
timesofisrael.com
indeed. i dont buy this narrative for a second
to make it look more legit, of course.
what is a falseflag?
How? Just how Iran can be so based? Is it guided by God himself?
God Bless Iran.
I don't know to be honest, their intention was to grab info on new tech and sell it to a third party.
>U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York
Vault 7. Manufacturing Consent. Greater Israel.
For some reason they have not targeted Russia. But they did target China.
how do we know its them and not some clown tricks?
You can read the report here: cylance.com
It is quite technical, but basically they left traces behind.
Did Obama stop the investigations into this too?
No, he put the same hackers on the fbi wanted list. We know who these people are, the only problem is that they are in Iran and we can't get to them. They were the same group that leaked HBO's Game of Thrones online.
They know Putin will hack them back second they try something
So unrelated to Cassandra?
lol the John Bolton war against Iran narrative is *already* ramping up
how fucking stupid do these neocon faggots think we are
DO YOU EVEN WATCH RICHARD AND MORTIMER
>7998 professors
YES, i expect a lot of pedophiles will be exposed now.
hopefully we see many suicides among professors judges and politicans around the world as a result of this.
Holy shit. Hacking really is the new WMDs, first Russia now Iran.
Lmao, China has been doing infinitely worse than this, the Chinese were openly stealing top secret military designs and schematics
jstor and elsevier is gay as fuck how can I get my hands on this research?
shit! No war because of that? This looks like a job for John "two nukes for the gooks" Bolton
US Cyber defense needs to git gud, fighting back with bombs will be a bloody and expensive catastrophe.

iran is BASED.
if iranians are reading this, look into melbourne judges and professors.
Considering these Iranians are never going to leave Iran then what the fuck does this do? (Nothing)
So they can have the same weaponry.
exactly, research from universities? That is not some special shit, unless of course they are hiding what was actually hacked from them
MY GENDER STUDIES THESIS ON THE SPECTRUM OF BOIPUCCINESS!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
So this is the justification Trump will use to MIGA.
fpbp
It's probably the counter propaganda research.
nice (((hexagon))) in your pic, kike
will this be the narrtive used to start a war on iran?
Mostly. But as an example, the feds paid CMU kids millions to get their help cracking certain encryption protocols with brute force and 9figures of server time.
Any research the government gives a fuck about is pretty much classified.
this desu
Countries don't go to war over cyberattacks ya big dummy.
continued.
All countries that were attacked should stop issuing student visas to Iranian nationals. We should also retaliate with a massive cyber campaign.
Although this was a story to explain their hacks of German officials and shit before Assange fully revealed that every chip, router, and hdd was backdoored anyway. So it might be bullshit.
And at the same time they funded Assanges research in college and then shut it down and stole all the research from everyone involved. So whatever the case there's something worth stealing.
Missed the twitter tab, Mr. President.
They will soon enough. With the right exploits you can shut down a countries infrastructure. Potentially killing millions without ever firing a bullet.
Thanks Obama. You're right though, we should sit back and do nothing.
>retaliate
I'm sorry but you guys started this cyber war. Remember Stuxnet?
>Arabian universities stealing the knowledge of the West to sell as their own
This isn't news. This has been happening for hundreds of years.
Arab universities actually were also targted (UAE).
They didn't even explain, this is fucking stupid.
Fuck Kike Rosenstein.
320 Universities? WOOPIE? What the fuck do universities store in common that's actually worth anything? Fucking textbooks? Chemistry? Psychology? Go to the fucking library for fuck's sake, why would you need 320 universities for that?
Are universities storing secret weapon facilities? OH WERE CYBERWEAPONS "STOLEN" and need to be "RETRIEVED"?
Fucking kike Rosenstein, fuck Bolton too.
lel Iran is the Aaron Schwartz of the Middle East
Who?
Another fake cia hack.
Only recently were they caught trying to frame Russia,and now this
listeb to this dutch
don't listen to this dutch:
Holy shit newfag, how can you not know?
Based Iran (assuming it's not a false flag which it probably is). That's what happens when you put a nation under 40 years of sanctions for unjust reasons. Also Israel will be butthurt when Iran leaps forward scientifically in the next few years and Israel will have trouble keeping up.
And Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and fucking North Korea. But not Japan.
What a convenient news.
What's really suspicious is they didn't steal any scientific research from Africa.
>unable to come up with shit yourself so you steal from the west
Figures Russian would respect thievery
They came up with the way to steal it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY STOLE MY MEME FOLDER FROM MY CAMPUS PC
Hahaha barely anyone reads uni paper
Lol at the cia
Just because you wasted college doesn't mean everyone does. My theory on dance gender therapy replacing the patriarchal lies of hormone therapy will revolutionize trans culture for millennia to come.
Now Iranians will find a way to turn frogs gay.
Fpbp
Based on news from Yemen, I'd say they already has missiles which will pose all kind of threats for Israel. That's why jews, both in Israel and USA, in such a hurry to drag USA into a war with Iran.
Wakanda is 100 years ahead of everyone in every field, including security. Especially security, since they have so many niggers around.
They probably had inside help from Iranians working in the universities. In Aus Iranians love taking advantage of this foreign student funded gravy train.

Wew nice phishing

Oh no, how many cars did they download?
kek
ITT: brainlets
China does this all the time, and no one does anything
>US attacks Iran with stuxnet
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE why do you hack our universities?
Seems like americucks learned that actions have consequences. The worst part is that Iran started a cyber program after getting attacked by stuxnet. If it weren't for the kikes trying to destroy 1000 centrifuges, they wouldn't be a cyber threat today.
>unable to come up with shit yourself so you steal from the west
Funny you say that, considering most of your scientist, engineers and doctors are third world countries chinks, iranians, poos and russians as well as germans in the past.
It was a US (Israel) falseflag you fucking bluepill.
ok mr.retard
Got any proofs that they were iranians?
