    Ein Spionagenetzwerk mit dem Namen GhostNet hat weltweit mehrere hundert Computer infiltriert und deren Nutzer beobachtet. Kanadische Forscher haben dieses Geisternetz entdeckt, das innerhalb von weniger als zwei Jahren aufgebaut worden sein soll und noch aktiv ist. Der Betreiber sei unbekannt, wie die New York Times berichtet.

    Die Forscher am Munk Center for International Studies in Toronto gehen davon aus, dass mindestens 1295 Rechner in 103 Staaten infiltriert worden seien. Dazu sollen Computer von Botschaften, Außenministerien, der Nato und des Dalai Lama gehören. Die infizierten Rechner stehen dem Bericht zufolge unter anderem in Brüssel, London und New York. Betroffen waren die Außenministerien von Iran, Bangladesch, Lettland, Indonesien, den Philippinen, Brunei, Barbados und Bhutan. Außerdem seien Systeme in Botschaften von Deutschland, Indien, Südkorea, Indonesien, Rumänien, Zypern, Malta, Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal und Pakistan gehackt worden. Dabei hätten die Hacker Malware installiert und Daten von den befallenen Computern empfangen sowie versendet.

    Exiltibeter wollten es wissen

    Die Systemeinbrüche wurden dem Blatt zufolge entdeckt, nachdem Mitarbeiter des Dalai Lama die Kanadier gebeten hatte, ihre Rechner auf schädliche Programme wie Viren zu untersuchen. Das geistliche Oberhaupt der Tibeter, das im Exil lebt, wollte damit sicherstellen, dass seine Rechner nicht von der chinesischen Behörden überwacht werden.

    KD - you're absolutely correct. Measuring outcomes is how one really determines the ROI of a campaign, and that implies a true enterprise view of the campaign and its results. That said, PR Newswire has long been focused on providing quantifiable information to our customers on the results their press releases generate. For several years, we've been tracking editorial pick up of releases via the US1 Media Monitoring service (free with our Premium Newslines.)

    The new Visibility Reports take things a step further, revealing key information about how each press release performed - information communicators can use to improve future campaigns; and by quantifying engagement, not just eyeballs.

    I'm glad that you think this is a step in the right direction, because this is a journey, and we're not yet at the final destination.
