U.S. To Charge Iranian Hackers For Cyber Attacks Against U.S. Banks And A New York Dam

Reuters: Exclusive: U.S. to charge Iran in cyber attacks against banks, New York dam - sources

The Obama administration is expected to blame Iranian hackers as soon as Thursday for a coordinated campaign of cyber attacks in 2012 and 2013 on several U.S. banks and a New York dam, sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters.
