It's pretty naive to think that APT wouldn't consider this a target as well. More than one person can hack the same box :) I agree this hack in particular is probably not APT. If you think APT wouldn't be interested in a political campaign, just look back to the 2013 leak about the US's espionage of the Brazilian presidential candidate Dilma Rousseff's campaign. (Now it seems pretty prescient given her impeachment for corruption). > That's why every hacking report of some big organization or company today lays the blame on APTs, China, Russia, NORKs and so on. What? We must have very different sources of reports. The big hacks I read about in the NYT or LA times are almost always some poorly-secured retail company or social media company has a credit card or password dump. Brian Krebs has earned his living for years based off of this reporting. > media and security companies would want us to believe. Security companies? Maybe. Media? Where's the motive? This is the top comment? Come on.
