I agree this is overlooked. I know of a research group at a high-profile university in Europe that had to hide the fact they had a key team member from Iran when they applied for using a large US supercomputer. IIRC this was back in 2013. So they got a user account for one European-born team member, who gave the login details to the Iranian person who then did the actual work on the supercomputer.
- Neliquat 10y agoYou should not post details of international fraud in public forums buddy.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoMeh. I have no relation to the university in question, I don't know any names of those involved; the story was told to me by a casual acquaintance some years back, who had heard it from someone else etc. so it's hardly substantive details. If the CIA want to investigate every Iranian who used to be in some undisclosed European university half a decade ago (probably tens of thousands of people, with no central records to tap; said person might just be visiting for some months and not registered anywhere), on the basis of internet hearsay, they can be my guest.
