Security vendor coalition cleans 43,000 malware infections used for cyberespionage

A coalition of security vendors disrupted the activities of a cyberespionage group tied to China. The group targeted computers of Fortune 500 companies, journalists, environmental groups, software companies, academic institutions, pro-democracy groups and government agencies around the world. The so-called “interdiction” effort was publicly announced earlier this month. It saw the participation of Novetta, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, FireEye, FSecure, iSight Partners, Symantec, Tenable Network Security and ThreatTrack Security.”]
