30 year old Iranian hacker Nima Golestaneh was extradited to the US from Turkey last year suspected of hacking attack against American military aerospace contractor Arrow Tech Associates (Vermont, USA).
In October 2012 Golestaneh broke into the servers of the company which builds ballistics prediction and testing software, and accessed its databases in attempt to steal software worth $millions.
US investigators identified that Golestaneh was in Turkey and he was then extradited to the US last year for trial on charges of wire fraud, unauthorized access to computers and money laundering.
However Golestaneh was pardoned by the United States and sent back to the Islamic Republic before being sentenced.
It seems that Golestaneh was part of an active Iranian hacking team that targets both US infrastructure and defense companies as well as the Las Vegas Sands casino email system.
