A Muslim Pakistani-Canadian activist journalist who is critical of Islamic fundamentalism fears for her life after fielding two warnings recently that she’s in the digital crosshairs of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Raheel Raza, a 75-year-old Toronto grandmother, had just lost a friend and fellow journalist in Pakistan to sectarian violence. Then she learned from Iranian dissidents in California and an analyst in New York that her email had been infiltrated by IRGC hackers — known as APT35, or Charming Kitten — who produced a report detailing her work.
