Simple Google Search Unmasks Chinese Cyberspies

How a Simple Google Search Unmasked a Chinese Cyber Espionage Network | MIT Technology Review: " . . . .“China-based espionage networks are actually very sloppy. We’ve seen this over and over again–sloppy careless steps that allowed us to see what they were doing.
