China-based hacking campaign is said to have breached satellite, defense companies
A hacking campaign launched from computers in China breached satellite operators, defense contractors and telecommunications companies in the U.S. and Southeast Asia, according to Symantec.
Researchers at the company said they could not say what communications, if any, were taken.
But they said the hackers infected computers that controlled satellites, so that they could have changed the positions of the orbiting devices and disrupted data traffic.
