OFAC Sanctions Iranian Officials for Cyber Attacks

The Office of Foreign Assets Control last week sanctioned six Iranian officials with ties to cyberattacks against the U.S. and other countries. The officials work for Iran’s Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Cyber-Electronic Command (IRGC-CEC), a government organization that carries out the attacks.

The designations target Hamid Reza Lashgarian, the head of the government agency, as well as senior officials Mahdi Lashgarian, Hamid Homayunfal, Milad Mansuri, Mohammad Bagher Shirinkar and Reza Mohammad Amin Saberian.
