**Executive Summary:** Symantec attributes multiple high-profile intrusions since 2009 to a sophisticated, for‑hire group dubbed "Hidden Lynx," linking it to Operation Aurora, VOHO and the Bit9 supply‑chain compromise; the group uses tailored tools including Backdoor.Moudoor (a Gh0st RAT variant) and Trojan.Naid to conduct targeted data‑theft campaigns against government, financial, education and legal sector organizations.
