Thanks for the link. The article would certainly make one wonder if the website of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations was infected from Capstone, as Casptone's site has been reported as being a "host" since September. Once infected it appears that the "intruder" has full reign on the target computer.

{U.S. Council on Foreign Relations, a high-level think tank, has been compromised by the same code since early December, and security firm FireEye confirmed that the site was still hosting malware as of 26 December.}

This is not the kind of press we need and shame on Capstone for failing to heed written notice that their site was compromised as far back as September. DJ needs to do a bit of 'splaining at the Q3 2013 CC this February; The damage has been done, but the fall-out will more than likely continue. I suspect that this story isn't going to go away anytime soon due the sophistication (State Sponsored Level) of the malware.

Just think of the number of hits, by high value targets, the Capstone Turbine website received related to The U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration and Capstone Turbine's coordinated U.S. Embassy Hosts Capstone Turbine Event for Forty-Five Leading Argentinian Oil and Gas Executives. When you are talking about someone taking over a Country's infrastruture the discussion pales in comparison to heating a swimming pool or keeping the lights on in a hotel.

Again...Why Capstone? This is not a random act of violence; It is a well planned and executed attack IMO.
