Post McAfee claims to find one of the largest cyber attacks yet

Quote:
IT security firm McAfee claims to have uncovered one of the largest ever series of cyber attacks.

It lists 72 different organisations that were targeted over five years, including the International Olympic Committee, the UN and security firms.

McAfee will not say who it thinks is responsible, but there is speculation that China may be behind the attacks.

They think it's China. We don't know for sure if it is, but most of the evidence points to there.

it's often speculated that, since cyber warfare would likely be the determining factor in any major war, most powerful countries are actually training hackers
these sorts of things were probably just some of them screwing around or something
