Hacktivists claim to have accessed files from private U.S.-based defense group

Posted on March 8, 2015 by Dissent

Adam Greenberg reports:

In an email sent to an SC Magazine editorial executive, a group identifying itself as CyberBerkut – reported pro-Russian hacktivists – said it had gained access to files on the mobile device of a Green Group official who “recently visited Kiev as a member of American military delegation.” Green Group is a private military company (PMC) based in the U.S. that, according to LinkedIn, covers “an array of defense support activities.”

Read more on SCMagazine, who note that as of the time of their publication, they had been unable to verify the veracity of the hacktivists’ claims.
