US
cyber security firms on Tuesday said that a Chinese espionage team hacked
Forbes magazine to hunt defense contractors, financial firms, and other
unsuspecting prey visiting the popular news website.
Invincea
and iSight Partners detailed what they described as a "watering hole"
campaign late last year that took advantage of Forbes.com and other legitimate
websites.
"A
Chinese advanced persistent threat compromised Forbes.com to set up a watering
hole style web-based drive-by attack against US defense and financial services
firms in late November 2014," Invincea said in a report posted at its
website.
