Top Tech News : Chinese Attackers Grab Data from Energy Companies
"
Hackers from China have been stealing internal documents from energy companies for at least two years, and possibly up to four. McAfee has named the hackers Night Dragon and described them as "incredibly sloppy." The Night Dragon hackers exploited holes to compromise web servers, McAfee said, and could attack other industries."~

One thing I have to say is.... "WHO was SLOPPY?" Yes the attackers were, but they got in easily from what I understand. This doesn't bode well for us in this matter. Looks like even our private sector is severely lacking in this department. But why is their "secure" financial data able to be accessed from outside the company anyway?
