Hack reveals wider campaign by foreign intelligence service by Neil Ashdown An investigation into the hacking of a cyber-security company appears to have revealed a global intrusion campaign affecting US government networks, among other targets. FireEye – one of the world’s largest cyber-security companies – announced on 8 December that it had been the victim of an intrusion by a “nation with top-tier offensive capabilities”. On the company’s blog, Chief Executive Officer Kevin Mandia stated that the attackers had “used a novel combination of techniques not witnessed by us or our partners in the past”.
