China fingered for Coca Cola hack - report - Several big name multinationals kept quiet about breaches : By Phil Muncaster : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/05/coca_cola_breach_china_hackers/
'Suspected Chinese hackers launched damaging cyber raids on several big name multi-nationals over the past few years, including Coca Cola, according to new reports.
Fizzy drink giant Coca Cola, British energy company BG Group, Luxembourg-based steel maker ArcelorMittal and Chesapeake Energy were all named by Bloomberg as having been breached but deciding not to reveal the news at the time.
Coca Cola’s computer systems were infiltrated thanks to an email sent to then the deputy president of Coca-Cola’s Pacific Group, Paul Etchells.
Appearing to come from the CEO, it actually contained a malicious link which, when Etchell clicked, began downloading malware including a keylogger, the report said.'
- so dear Mr Etchell, better watch your fingers, please ..:exclamation:
-then the Chinese must be extremely thirsty, probably a result of climate change (and I'm talking about global warming every 1500 years here ..) ..:sleepy:
