Ehsan Parnour was responsible for developing and maintaining the 'Pouya' system at Rana, which compiled detailed personal information from targeted individuals. His work enabled large-scale data collection to support cyber surveillance and intrusion operations. His technical contributions were central to the regime’s digital monitoring efforts. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC press release identified such technological advancements as key components of the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. The announcement underscored the role of advanced data aggregation systems in facilitating state-sponsored digital repression. This designation marked a significant international response to these cyber activities.
