This is actually part of a series of investigations she has been working. I think the article is overall a good read and take on the situation.

Take note of the fact that it's C0d0s0, former NSA Agents directly tasked with targeting threat groups, and even more interestingly this quote "Not all companies heed the warning. A security consultant for one victim, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of nondisclosure agreements, said that his client chose not to act on a tip from Area 1 last year out of concern that a scandal over a successful online attack against the company would jeopardize its recent acquisition. It figured its acquirer would not have been thrilled to learn that the start-up’s proprietary technology was now in Chinese hacker’s hands."

There is a lot more to this story than has come out.

NoSuchAgent account created 3 hours ago and most likely is the same PR, or the company referenced. Unbelievable.
Yeah, this is really weird.
Not the company, not the pr firm, not the reporter. Security Analyst that's familiar with the research she's doing for the stories.
Forgive me for doubting a new account that starts off a post with "actually".
