Cyber Attack?What Cyber Attack?

摘要

The news is full of stories about hackers breaking into corporate computer networks, and federal officials say the attackers are stealing billions of dollars in business secrets. Yet investors would have a hard time finding evidence of any damage. Among the 27 largest U.S. companies reporting cyber attacks-including MetLife, Coca-Cola, and Honeywell International almost all said there has been no material impact from computer breaches. Citigroup, which reported "limited losses," was an exception. The companies declined to comment. "I would bet some are just not being forthcoming," says Lance Hoffman, director of George Washington University's Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute.
