Omid Abedshahi worked for Rana and was responsible for developing trojans and malware used in cyber intrusions. His technical work contributed to the organization’s offensive cyber capabilities. His contributions enabled targeted digital attacks. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC press release highlighted malware development as a key element of the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. The announcement detailed the role of such software in state-sponsored operations. This designation served as an international warning against these invasive practices.
