News on the Google attacks?

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Or just a marketing campaign?

Mandiant seems to be playing coy.  They will neither confirm not deny that they 
have been involved in the investigation into the "Aurora" related attacks on 
Google and other enterprises, which may or may not have originated in China.  
However, they have published a paper on "advanced persistent threats" (aka 
APT).  You can't get this paper from their website 
( http://www.mandiant.com/services/advanced_persistent_threat/ ), all you get is 
some promotional bumpf.  Darkreading ( http://is.gd/7rGAN ) says the report 
sheds light on the attacks.  Supposedly you can register to receive the report 
( http://is.gd/7rHtx ): I'm waiting to see what appears in my mailbox.

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one
comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
