US charges Iranian with attacks against defense contractors
Briefly

Nasab participated in a cyber campaign using spear phishing and other hacking techniques to infect more than 200,000 victim devices, many of which contained sensitive or classified defense information.
The indictment doesn't state whether intrusion attempts at federal government departments were successful, though we note both the State and Treasury departments have been broken into in recent years.
