Attack on Forbes.com Linked to Think Tank Attacks

A recent cyber attack on Forbes.com has been linked to a group of Chinese hackers who apparently have also targeted think tanks.  Here is more:
The researchers attributed the hack to a cyberespionage group called Team Codoso, also known as the Sunshop Group, which has a long history of similar "watering hole" style attacks. Researchers at FireEye linked the group to attacks affecting multiple Korean military and strategy think tanks and a Uighur news and discussion site, among others, in 2013.
Here are some more details about the attacks from Invincea.
