http://www.tgdaily.com/security-features/57975-leaked-data-points-to-sino-cyber-espionage-ring By Trent Nouveau TG Daily August 18, 2011 A massive Pastebin dump of domain names and IP addresses appears to be linked to a Sino-cyber espionage ring. The data - posted on August 15th by an unknown individual - lists approximately 850 entries which are allegedly exploited to facilitate command and control operations. "My motivation is purely selfless in nature and I only wish the security community to improve upon what has already been done in this realm. Most of the security community is a fraud and continues to subsist on half-assed analyses and bogus data. All information was compiled from open sources and leaked information; no customer-based data was used for the analysis," 'RSA Employee #15666' wrote in a recent Pastebin post. "My sincerest apologies go out to those with ongoing monitoring operations on any of the IP addresses involved. These attacks have targeted US and Canadian companies almost exclusively for at least five years; the tools, tactics, and procedures have changed very little during that timeframe and continue to be extremely effective." According to #15666, the cyber espionage ring is motivated primarily by financial considerations.
