COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado: US cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Inc said it had successfully prevented a Chinese hacker group from targeting a US technology firm for the first time, offering promise for other companies facing cyber attacks.
Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and chief technology officer of CrowdStrike, told Reuters his company had observed a China-based hacker group called Hurricane Panda halt its attacks on a US Internet technology firm in January, after the hackers detected CrowdStrike's presence on the company's networks.
