BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Swiss defense firm hacked

May 25, 2016 Reprints

Swiss computer emergency response teams have released details of an advanced persistent threat attack on Switzerland-based defense products firm Ruag Holding A.G. and Swiss special forces unit, DRA10, reported SC Magazine UK.

Ruag said that the attackers stole less than 0.01% of the data it manages.

"No secret data was affected by the attack on Ruag," added Ruag.

The CERT said that the attackers have been violating the defense contractor since "at least" September 2014, while Ruag said it "has been observing and tracing the hackers' activities since January 2016."
