It has happened before, but this time, hackers bit the dust as they didn't manage to access valuable data stored on the computers. Rolls-Royce, a famous company based on the production of luxury vehicles and airplane engines, was the victim of a Chinese hack attack targeting the private data stored on the firm's computers, "TerraNet" reported citing "The Times". According to the same website, some anonymous sources told the online publication that hackers attempted to break into the computers, but they didn't manage to reach the valuable information before being disconnected.
"The Chinese -- the People's Liberation Army -- have been up to it for a good while, but it has really come to the fore recently. They tried to get inside Rolls-Royce -- their IT systems. They did not get enough inside, but it was a sufficiently big attack to get very worried. They got to the so-called not very important information before being rooted out," the anonymous source told "The Times", according to "TerraNet".
