The scheme relied upon Bitlocker, a popular cybersecurity encryption product from Microsoft which is used by thousands of clients worldwide.
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department on Thursday unsealed an August indictment of three Iranian nationals who officials said are behind an international ransomware conspiracy that has targeted hundreds of corporate and government victims around the world.
The three individuals allegedly carried out the scheme for their personal gain, and not at the behest of the Iranian government, department officials said on a call with reporters. The defendants are Mansour Ahmadi, Ahmad Khatibi Aghda and Amir Hossein Nickaein Ravari, all believed to be living in Iran. None of them has been arrested, and officials admitted that U.S. law enforcement has few options available to detain them in person.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
