Affiliation: RANA/MOIS/AMNBAN
Ali Kamali is a hacker sanctioned by the FBI in 2020 for attacking American infrastructure. Despite his toxic reputation and FBI sanctions, he was hired by Behnam Amiri at Amnban (Sharif Advanced Technologies). His involvement with APT39 operations demonstrates a pattern of state-sponsored cyber attacks. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury's OFAC press release identified members of Rana as integral to the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. His brazen employment at Amnban despite international sanctions shows the audacity of Iran's cyber-espionage operations. This designation underscored the global threat posed by these activities.
