The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) announced on 14 September a deferred prosecution agreement with two U.S. citizens and one former U.S. citizen who, on behalf of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), transferred protected information (ITAR/AECA) to the UAE; assisted the UAE in exploiting Apple’s operating system; and conducted network operations that compromised U.S. entities. All three individuals were former members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (believed to be the National Security Agency) or U.S. military, and were identified as Marc Baier, Ryan Adams, and Daniel Gericke.
