Hackers aligned with a foreign nation-state successfully breached the systems of FireEye, the $3.5 billion Silicon Valley cybersecurity giant, the company said on Tuesday. The attackers stole its proprietary "Red Team" hacking tools, used to assess a client's security and vulnerabilities, the company said.

FireEye has for years been a leader in the fight against cybercrime, producing regular intelligence reports on nation-state hacking and aiding companies and government agencies targeted by hackers. Stock in the company was down over 7% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the announcement.

That activity has made FireEye a target for an unusually sophisticated attack, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia wrote in a blog post published Tuesday.

Our intelligence agencies are still under Democratic control. That is why China is being ignored and the focus is on RUSSIA!

Two sides of the same coin, in my book. Neither should be ignored. Republican and Democrats used to be together on this.

I can’t remember when Apple has ever been hacked. Microsoft and Google and Facebook have had minor hacks.
