The US has sanctioned the same Iranian hacking institute twice in eight years — and it still does not tell you who stopped a British power plant

Treasury designated nearly 60 Iran-linked entities, individuals and vessels under Operation Economic Outcast, including six people tied to the Mabna Institute — the outfit sanctioned in 2018 for stealing 31 terabytes from 320 universities. The designations concern US infrastructure. They do not name the UK attack, and the attribution there remains unconfirmed.
