FireEye, one of the leading US cybersecurity companies, said it has been hacked by state-sponsored attackers. The hacker locked and accessed the company’s so-called “red team” tool, which can be used to test the security of customers and find vulnerabilities. Now, people are worried that hackers can publicly release these tools or use them to attack other people, although there is no evidence that this has happened. FireEye stated that it does not believe it has obtained any customer information.
Although Kevin Mandia wrote the blog post, chief executive officer of FireEye, it did not specify who was responsible, but said the attacking country had “first-class offensive capabilities.” The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia is a suspect, especially its foreign intelligence service, SVR. However, the investigation into who is responsible is still ongoing.
Mandia wrote in the post, “This attack is different from the tens of thousands of incidents we have dealt with over the years.” He pointed out that the attackers “have received rigorous training in operational safety and are disciplined and Important. The disclosure did not disclose when the hacking occurred or when FireEye realized it.
