{Are the Chinese siphoning off Capstone's intellectual property?}

I don't really understand if members of CFR site infected Capstone or the other way around. {The foreign-policy resource site includes many notable public figures among its members and directors. Researchers dubbed it a watering hole attack, where a website frequented by topically connected subjects is infected with malware hoping to snare those site visitors in drive-by attacks.} But since {Researcher Eric Romang told Threatpost that the CFR website had been hosting malware as early as Dec. 7, according to a Google cache, and researchers at FireEye said it was still hosting malware on Dec. 26, the day after Christmas} it might appear that Capstone was the source since their systems have apparently hosted the Watering Hole since September.

This is not good PR and let's hope that Capstone's IT folks are a bit more aggressive in responding than the CFRs IT folks are.
