BOSTON: Researchers have discovered a group of highly sophisticated hackers operating for hire out of China, a US computer security company said on Tuesday, and it linked them to some of the best-known espionage attacks in recent years.
Symantec Corp said the group, which it dubbed "Hidden Lynx," was among the most technically advanced of several dozen believed to be running cyberespionage operations out of China. Unlike a previous report by another company, Symantec did not accuse the Chinese government of involvement in the cyberattacks.
