Iranian cyber suspect wanted by FBI killed in US-Israeli strikes
Mohammad Mehdi Farhadi Ramin, an Iranian man wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation over alleged cyberattacks, was killed last week in the city of Hamadan during joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran, a review by Iran International of state funeral announcements showed.
Farhadi had been wanted by US authorities since 2020 on accusations of taking part in cyber intrusions targeting entities in the United States and several other countries.
US documents accuse him and another suspect of illegally accessing computer systems and stealing hundreds of terabytes of data, including information related to national security, foreign policy, civilian nuclear research, aerospace data and unpublished scientific studies.
A funeral for Farhadi was held on Monday in Hamadan.
