Cybersecurity firm FireEye says nation-State hackers stole its penetration testing tools. The tools are designed to target specific vulnerabilities for which patches have already been released. Cisco Talos Intelligence has listed 16 vulnerabilities that are targeted by FireEye’s tools. Some of the tools are publicly available tools modified to evade basic security detection mechanisms. The oldest flaw being targeted was first reported in 2014, and some of the flaws are still persistently, so why hackers – including nation-state attack teams and organized crime gangs – target them.”]
