Bloomberg – The hacking attack on a hedge fund that was described by a security official with BAE Systems Plc (BA/) last month wasn’t real, a company spokeswoman said.
The attack was one of several “illustrative scenarios” that BAE internally developed and was “incorrectly presented” as authentic, Natasha Davies, a company spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview today. The company, based in London, sells network security services to government and corporate clients.
