Jeremiah Grossman, Chief of Security Strategy, SentinelOne comments: "As I look at the way this story is unfolding, there are strong parallels between this and the Google Aurora attacks in 2010. Nation-state sparring continues playing out on private systems like Yahoo’s because they can provide a valuable source of intelligence on your opponent’s or other people of interest. Also, if you are a nation-state and want to determine if any of your spies have been burned, you put taps on Google, Yahoo, Microsoft etc -- not just the telecom networks. Of course, there is always the motivation to deanonymize political dissidents by oppressive regimes.
