–Alleged NYT Hackers Re-Emerge With Updated Tools
(August 12, 2013)
The Chinese hackers who are suspected of breaking into networks at The
New York Times and other well-known organizations have begun another
round of attacks with updated hacking tools. APT12, which is believed
to have ties to China's People's Liberation Army, dropped off the radar
after the NYT hack was revealed earlier this year. The group's new
activity was first noticed in May 2013. The new target has not been
identified but is described as an "organization involved in shaping
economic policy." The malware updates help the hacking tools evade
intrusion detection systems.
