The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it has seized four websites operated by the Iranian regime’s intelligence department that were allegedly behind a $250,000 bounty death threat against former Ontario MPP Goldie Ghamari.
The DOJ announced the seizure in a March 19 press release, saying it came as part of its “ongoing effort to disrupt hacking and transnational repression schemes” conducted by the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
