Ahmad Fathi is wanted for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to conduct a coordinated campaign of distributed denial of service ("DDoS") attacks against the United States financial sector and other United States companies from 2011 through 2013. Fathi is the director and owner of ITSecTeam, also known as Amnpardazesh Kharazmi, an Iranian Information Technology company.
