Shawn Henry, the FBI’s former top cyber cop: A US company lost $1 billion of intellectual property in a single intrusion over a weekend

Henry and other top U.S. officials have underscored the severity of cyber threats by citing a case in which one publicly traded company lost $1 billion of intellectual property in a single intrusion over a weekend.

Henry declined to identify the company, but said many corporations were unaware that their networks had been breached until FBI agents notified them that they discovered proprietary, company-specific data outside their networks.
