Re: Mandiant Report on China-Sponsored Hacking

according to this "bloomberg" article, it wasn't "china", it was "an eastern european gang", which is what i would expect:

»www.bloomberg.com/news/2 ··· are.html

edit: it is possible that "the eastern european gang" is working together with the chinese gang, giving the chinese gang "plausible deniability"..

If you read the Mandiant report or the Arstechnia article about it, you'll note that this is about a great deal more than the recent Apple attack. Plus the linked-together episodes include a lot more military-specific targeting than what Bloomberg refers to. Certainly, there are a lot of other players on the field, but the Chinese themselves are long-time, exhaustive participants at this through the direct involvement and oversight of the PLA.
