MI5 warns banks of Chinese hackers

Published by Heike under Hacking for money, UK Attacks

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”.
