Seyed Hamid Aboutorabi worked for Rana and was noted as a senior computer expert specializing in database management and network security. His efforts helped maintain the integrity of data systems used for surveillance. His contributions supported the efficient collection and analysis of personal information. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC press release identified such senior roles as vital to the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. The announcement highlighted the sophisticated database systems that underpinned state-sponsored operations. This designation served as an international benchmark against digital repression.
