Up to 26 Australian universities are among the targets of a multi-billion dollar global scam which US authorities allege was funded by the Iranian government.
Australian National University, the University of Sydney, Monash University and the Queensland University of Technology were targeted by the spear-phishing and phishing email campaigns allegedly launched by the Iranian government-affiliated Mabna Institute. The FBI and US Justice Department say nine Iranian citizens stole the login credentials of 8000 academics at 320 institutions across 22 countries between 2013 and 2017.
