I hesitation, no time to talk about this just another case of hacking Chinese, supported in France by Le Figaro . Soon as I'm the gourmand could not pass up the opportunity to aim ads "Sensational" but suspicious of this story.
The origin of this case comes from a leading security products, McAfee, and more particularly its technical manager ( CTO - Chief Technical Officer ), George Kurtz. We learn on his blog that his company has looked closely at a "new" attack on the poetic name of "Night Dragon" (Dragon night). These attacks from China and to Western companies operating in energy (say, even Anglo-Saxon, we talk about Chevron, BP and ExxonMobil ).
So the oil and gas sector, highly strategic in the context of security of supply as far as Chinese American who is once again targeted. Once again since this is not the first nor the last time this sector has fallen prey to attacks. However, we can estimate that the Iranian nuclear Stuxnet who squatted the length charts attacks in recent months, a little breeze blowing from the steppes of Kazakhstan can only do good!
In reality, Apart from the attempt (probably successful) buzz this case, the only relevant information is learned that the type of attacks is an absolute classic * and rise and fall, the devices for detecting attacks (dearly ... sold by McAfee and others) were ineffective ...!
* recipe for an attack "sepia" but effective: a few cloves of social engineering, a great bunch of Windows vulnerabilities, using a DBA (Windows directory), and a sprinkling of the proper privilege escalation. Cook gently Administration Tools remote, cool and serve his guests!
