 According to IT security specialist McAfee, hackers based in China have stolen petabytes of proprietary data, representing, "…a massive transfer of wealth in the form of intellectual property that is unprecedented in history." Operation Shady RAT, which stands for the remote access tool used to collect the data, has reportedly targeted federal, state, and county governments in the U.S. as well as Canadian, Indian, Vietnamese, South Korean, and Taiwanese governments. Of the 72 organizations targeted by the group, 49 were in the U.S. and as many as 14 international defense contractors may have lost proprietary data. Have you protected your systems against a potential invasion?
