FireEye Exposed Years-Long APT Attack →
In astonishing (yet unsurprising) news - a discovery by FireEye Labs (and published under the company's Threat Research blog) - of a decade-long espionage campaign by miscreants thereto (in thi case, allegation point to entities in the Peoples Republic of China).

Clear proof of why security professionals should be quite concerned, specifically those folks who rely on *deeply flawed and nearly useless enterprise anti-virus and anti-malware products employed throughout most, if not all, enterprise IT environments... Ladies and Gentlemen, Girls and Boys, behold the money quote:
"All of the key findings we examined in the report lead us to conclude that APT 30 is a professional, cohesive threat group with a long-term mission to steal data that would benefit a government, and has been successful at doing so for quite some time. Such a sustained, planned development effort coupled with the group’s regional targets and mission, suggest that this activity is state sponsored." - via FireEye Labs and the FireEye Threat Research blog
