US offers $10 million for info on Iranian allegedly behind cyberattacks on critical infrastructure
The US State Department has offered a $10 million reward for information on Amir Yaryab, described as the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) cyber unit who oversees hacker groups including CyberAv3ngers. The bounty targets an individual allegedly responsible for coordinating cyberattacks against critical infrastructure.
Why it matters: Security teams managing critical infrastructure should track this designation as it signals US intelligence confidence in Yaryab's operational role and may precede coordinated takedown efforts or sanctions that could disrupt attack patterns.
