The Zindashti criminal network is a criminal organization associated with Naji Sharifi Zindashti that has been publicly accused by U.S. and U.K. authorities of supporting Iranian government-backed operations abroad. It has been described as acting as a hit squad for plots targeting critics of the Iranian government outside Iran. This places the network within the broader pattern of Tehran’s use of criminal proxies to threaten, plan, or conduct violent operations against dissidents and other perceived opponents overseas. High-confidence public reporting in this context ties the network to hostile activity on behalf of Iran rather than conventional financially motivated cybercrime, and does not establish distinct cyber tradecraft, malware usage, or intrusion capabilities attributable to the group.
