U.S. supervision charges Iranians for general cyber theft

The Trump administration in a United States on Friday charged 9 Iranians and an Iranian association with attempting to penetrate into hundreds of U.S. and international universities, dozens of companies and tools of a U.S. government on interest of a Iranian government.

The cyberattack pilfered some-more than 31 terabytes of academic data and egghead skill from 144 U.S. universities and 
176 universities in 21 unfamiliar countries, a U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
 
The U.S. Treasury Department said on a website that it was placing sanctions on those indicted and a Mabna Institute, a company described by U.S. prosecutors as designed to help Iranian investigate organizations take information.
