Seems that these hackers will stop at nothing.....more massive and more pervasive....


Security experts have discovered an unprecedented series of cyber attacks on the networks of 72 organizations globally, including the United Nations, governments and corporations, over a five-year period.

In the case of the United Nations, the hackers broke into the computer system of its secretariat in Geneva in 2008, hid there for nearly two years, and quietly combed through reams of secret data, according to McAfee.

A few weeks back our office router (on Bells network) was being attacked from a source located in China... Bell, as usual was useless in the matter.... we since implemented a number of security pieces in the wake of that.... but scary nonetheless... we have nothing of value for them, but I expect they were attempting to use our network as yet another launch point
