      A band of hackers for hire have raided some 300 banks, corporations and governments undetected for 12 years, possibly the longest campaign of its kind. The German hackers registered 800 front businesses in the UK to target and fully compromise organisations in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria at the request of customers. Elite Cyber Solutions chief executive Jonathan Gad said the damage done to companies since the attacks began in 2002 was "immeasurable".

          I'm always a little bit on the paranoid side about AV/Security because of stuff like this; the good crooks never get caught right?

            Those who are truly dangerous generally don't get caught.

                That's pretty extreme but there have to be companies like that out there. There always were in the predigital world. They must be there now.

                  @scottalanmiller I agree, it just goes to show how important proactive and layered security is. I'm always a fan of the occasional NIFO, because well... tinfoil hat.
