The Justice Department has unsealed an indictment charging Iranian national Alireza Shafie-Nasab, 39, with involvement in a cyber-enabled campaign aimed at compromising U.S. governmental and private entities, including the Treasury and State Department, as well as defense contractors. This operation is described as a roughly five-year hacking spree that threatened U.S. security. In a separate case, Grammy-winning Iranian singer Shervin Hajipour, known for his protest anthem 'Baraye' which became a symbol during the 2022 protests over Mahsa Amini's death, has been sentenced to 44 months in prison. The charges against Hajipour include 'inciting riots with the purpose of disrupting national security' and 'spreading anti-regime propaganda.'
