Three former intelligence operatives are to pay $1.6M to resolve criminal charges after working as mercenary hackers for the United Arab Emirates government.
The U.S. government has entered a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the defendants – Marc Baier, Ryan Adams, and Daniel Gericke – who, between 2016 and 2019, provided their services to a company that ran sophisticated hacking operations for the UAE government against various targets. The defendants were part of a clandestine unit named Project Raven, which helped the UAE spy on its enemies.
