WASHINGTON, March 24 (UPI) — The U.S. Justice Department is expected to unseal an indictment charging several people associated with the Iranian government in dozens of 2012 and 2013 computer intrusions on banks and a small upstate New York dam.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James B. Comey and other senior law enforcement officials are expected to announce the indictment against seven hackers and describe their government affiliation on Thursday.
The Justice Department alleges the hackers mounted a series of hacks on banks that include JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America from the summer of 2012 through 2013. The hackers caused the banks’ websites to crash, possibly in response to the strong economic sanctions on Iran from the United States and Europe for its nuclear program.
