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.”
