Report Details Hacks Targeting Google, Others
"...APT attackers, however, aim to establish a long-term occupying force inside a company’s perimeter. Last year, for example, an unidentified defense contractor discovered 100 compromised systems on its network, and found that the intruders had been inside since at least 2007. ..."
