Hotel ISP iBahn Denies Breach By Chinese Hackers

Posted by timothy on from the just-hired-new-typographers dept.

alphadogg writes "iBahn, a provider of internet services to some 3,000 hotels worldwide, denied on Thursday a news report that its network was breached by hackers. Bloomberg wrote that a highly skilled group of hackers based in China, which U.S. investigators have called 'Byzantine Foothold,' attacked iBahn, citing unnamed sources, including one U.S intelligence official. In a written statement, iBahn said it was aware of the allegations in the news report but it had 'not found proof of any breach on the iBahn network.'"

    'not found proof of any breach on the iBahn network' is not at all the same as saying that a breach did not take place.

    The post title is exactly what iBahn is claiming. The Iraqi information minister would be proud.

    No, it's not. iBahn is saying they have no proof that it happened and that they're investigating, which is all they can do. They're not denying a break in, they're giving the best information they can.
