[Jim Windle]

This was new. Other countries have spied on American companies, and they
have stolen from them, but this is likely the first time—occurring months
before the late November attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment (SNE

)—that a foreign player simply sought to destroy American corporate
infrastructure on such a scale. Both hacks may represent the beginning of a
geopolitically confusing, and potentially devastating, phase of digital
conflict.
