Zitat:US: Russia and China stealing online from US companies<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15584392">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15584392</a><!-- m -->
China and Russia are the most active perpetrators of economic cyber-espionage against US companies, a US intelligence report says.
The report specifically cited Chinese "actors" and Russian intelligence as the top culprits. Robert Bryant, US national counter-intelligence executive, told reporters that online spying was "a quiet menace to our economy". Both China and Russia's embassies have denied the allegations. [...]
According to the report, attacks from Russia are a "distant second" to those from China, but were "extensive" and "sophisticated". The proliferation of methods used to hack into the computer systems of both research organisations and private companies also means that it is harder to identify and track who is stealing information. The FBI alerted more than 100 US companies in the past year that their online security had been compromised.
