The government sponsored professional hacking team that was mentioned in the article was the focus of the infamous APT1 report by Mandiant (now FireEye), with investigations from 2006 and later: https://www.fireeye.com/content/dam/fireeye-www/services/pdfs/mandiant-apt1-report.pdf https://www.fireeye.com/content/dam/fireeye-www/services/pdf...
