Evil Corp gang hacked into dozens of US newspaper websites owned by the same company to infect employees of over 30 major US private firms. The employees’ computers were used as a stepping point into their companies’ enterprise networks as part of what looks like a series of targeted drive-by attacks. Evil Corp directed the attacks at a large array of industry sectors, focusing on manufacturing (five of the 31 targets), with information technology (four orgs) and telecommunications (three entities) also included in the top three most targeted sectors.
