Affiliation: RANA/MOIS
Abolfazl Hosseinpour Davoodi worked for Rana and was involved in social engineering activities to collect personal data from targeted individuals. His role supported the organization’s surveillance and cyber intrusion operations. His contributions provided critical intelligence for digital repression. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC press release noted that such data collection methods were a key component of the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. The announcement emphasized the invasive nature of these operations. This designation reinforced the international effort to counter state-sponsored cyber activities.
