Chinese Hacker Group ‘Comment Crew’ Remains Active and Operates Stealthily June 27, 2013 Security experts assert that the Chinese hacker group known as Comment Crew is still active and operating covertly. Rumors within the intelligence community suggest, “The Comment Crew is back again,” with researchers suspecting their involvement in the recent cyber tensions between the U.S. and China. Looking back, in February, the Mandiant Intelligence firm published a significant report detailing an extensive computer espionage campaign called APT1. Mandiant linked APT1, which compromised 141 organizations over seven years, to a Chinese military unit known as “61398.” Notably, the security firm identified a consistent pattern in attacks carried out by this group and established key indicators to recognize ongoing advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks. Mandiant has been monitoring the group for years, and while it is not the only firm to do so, FireEye has also provided valuable insights into their operations.April 15, 2026
Google Researcher Uncovers Internet Explorer Vulnerability Now Exploited in Targeted Attacks July 11, 2013 Tensions are rising between Google and Microsoft once again. Recently, Microsoft announced that hackers have been actively taking advantage of a vulnerability disclosed by Google researcher Tavis Ormandy. This flaw, affecting Windows 7 and 8, allows local users to gain escalated privileges, facilitating system compromise. Microsoft has addressed the vulnerability in its July “Patch Tuesday” updates. However, Ormandy has faced criticism from Microsoft and parts of the security community for publicly revealing the flaw before it was patched—an approach some believe undermines the opportunity for the software developer to respond. Ormandy, in turn, expressed frustrations with Microsoft’s hostile treatment of vulnerability researchers, suggesting that they are often difficult to collaborate with. He advised fellow researchers to consider using pseudonyms when interacting with major tech companies.April 15, 2026
