BREAKING: Iranians indicted in cyber attack on Atlanta
Two Iranian citizens have been indicted for a series of cyber attacks across America, including the March assault of the city of Atlanta’s computer systems, according to an FBI announcement Wednesday morning.
The cyber attack on Atlanta caused myriad issues with the city’s computer systems and could end up costing $17 million to taxpayers, according to one report. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the indictment also accuses the same defendants of a similar attack on the city of Newark, N.J., and some 200 other victims, including hospitals and health care agencies. - AJC
