China’s army may be behind a computer-hacking group that has attacked at least 141 companies worldwide since 2006, according to a report by a U.S. security firm.
The attacks, mainly directed at U.S. companies, were carried out by a group that is “likely government sponsored” and is similar “in its mission, capabilities, and resources” to a unit of the People’s Liberation Army, Mandiant Corp. said in a report today.
