Why develop your own Black Hat Hacker tools, when you can just steal them? U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye discloses breach, theft of internal hacking tools | Reuters
A bunch of Red-team tools were stolen. Tools designed to aid in the breaching of organizations.
The FireEye breach was disclosed in a blog post authored by CEO Kevin Mandia. The post said “red team tools” were stolen as part of a highly sophisticated, likely “nation-state” hacking operation. It is not clear exactly when the hack initially took place.
Beyond the tool theft, the hackers also appeared to be interested in a subset of FireEye customers: government agencies.
Great. Can you think of any Nation State that might wish us harm right now?
Some day companies will take security seriously...
