  • binary hackers

    The McAfee researcher responsible for the company's report on the five-year "Shady RAT" attacks on high-profile U.S. government agencies, the United Nations, the IOC, and numerous defense contractors and IT companies believes that "thousands" more targets could have been attacked.

    In total, McAfee identified 72 major targets of the Shady RAT attacks, virtually all of which the company declined to identify.


So wait, are the victims or the perpetrators the rats in this story? I can't tell.
