The report on the attack, called ‘Shadows in the Cloud: Investigating Cyber Espionage 2.0,’ details an eight-month long investigation put together by the Shadowserver Foundation and the Information Warfare Monitor. The report states that there is no evidence of involvement by Chinese authorities; a link is shown, though, to individuals based in Chengdu, China and to the underground hacking community in China.
