Secretive hackers stole national secrets, business plans, says McAfee - Techworld.com

Secretive hackers stole national secrets, business plans, says McAfee - Techworld.com: "Security vendor McAfee published a detailed report about a hacking group that penetrated 72 companies and organisations in 14 countries since 2006 in a massive operation that stole national secrets, business plans and other sensitive information.

McAfee said the attackers are likely a single group acting on behalf of a government, differing from the recent wave of less sophisticated attacks from cyber activist groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec.

McAfee did not say what country might have been working with the hackers, in contrast to companies such as Google, which as recently as last month blamed China for hacking into the Gmail accounts of several high profile US officials."
