Former U.S. Air Force officer faces spy charges after defecting to Iran

The U.S. Justice Department said Witt, 39, assembled dossiers on eight U.S. military intelligence agents she had worked with for Iranian hackers, who then used Facebook and e-mail to try to install spyware on their computers. "She decided to turn against the United States and shift her loyalty to Iran," said Jay Tabb, the FBI's executive assistant director for national security. "Her primary motivation appears to be ideological." Washington also charged four Iranian nationals who it said were involved in the cyberattacks.
