On The Iranian Hackers.

Making Iran into the bad guy any way they can.

US DOJ’s Absurd Sanctions On Iranian $3.4 Billion Hacking Scheme | The Continental Telegraph:
Essentially, they stole free access to Elsevier and similar academic publishing platforms by hacking into professors’ accounts and stealing their passwords. Sure, this is a crime, but it’s most certainly not a $3.4 billion one. That’s what the universities paid to gain access to the data themselves, not what they lost from other people accessing the data. That loss, the actual direct loss, to the universities, is $0.
