McAfee’s initial report on the attacks mistakenly linked several files to the attacks. The files were actually connected to a still-active botnet network of hacked computers that was created to shut down Vietnamese activists. McAfee investigated more than a dozen companies that had been hit by Aurora and found the Vietnamese botnet on four of these networks. Other companies that followed up on McAfee research were apparently confused too, according to McAfee. “It took us a little while to realize that they weren’t related,” McAfee says.”]
