Cyber Spy Unmasked: Iran’s IT Specialist Charged in U.S. Espionage Drama

Facing more plot twists than a spy novel, an Iranian IT ‘specialist’ moonlights as a cyber-spy, ensnaring U.S. agencies in a web of deceit and phishing nets. The DoJ’s got his number, though, and with a $10 million bounty on his cyber-trail, it’s game on…

Hot Take:

Oh, the tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive... with phishing emails. Seems like Alireza Shafie Nasab was more into spearfishing in the digital sea than doing actual IT work. And now, Uncle Sam's got a not-so-secret admirer who could win a $10 million dollar "bounty" program, which sounds more like a reality TV show prize than a cybersecurity effort. But hey, who am I to judge a modern-day Robin Hood scenario?
