Chinese hacker group Hidden Lynx, on mission to collect corporate data

Researchers believe that a group of “hackers for hire” based out of China are linked to numerous high-profile attacks on U.S. companies, including those against Google and security firm Bit9.

On Tuesday, Symantec released findings that a network of sophisticated attackers, dubbed the “Hidden Lynx” group, has been active since at least 2009 and continues to target organizations in the U.S. and in many other countries.
