MI5 warns banks of Chinese hackers
Chinese hackers going after banks isn’t exactly unusual but the fact that the director-general of MI5 saw fit to send out a general letter of warning is out of the norm. To me, it suggests that at that time (April), it was considered an imminent and wide-spread threat. Also, it doesn’t warn the banks to double lock the vaults, it identifies the target as “commercially sensitive information”.
