Security Breach
On March 17, 2011, approximately a month after announcing its CyberCrime Intelligence Service, RSA disclosed that it had been hacked. It categorized the attack on its two-factor authentication products as an Advanced Persistent Threat, although some have debated whether the attack was 'advanced'. The breach has links to the recent Sykipot attacks, the July 2011 SK Communications hack and the NightDragon series of attacks. These links suggest that the same attackers are behind each of the attacks, and that despite the debate on the matter, RSA was hacked by an APT.

“Good manners, to those one does not love, are no more a breach of truth, than “your humble servant,” at the bottom of a challenge is; they are universally agreed upon, and understand to be things of course. They are necessary guards of the decency and peace of society.”
