I somehow doubt they are 'well resourced'... Unless you are referring to the resource of botnet controlled nodes?
Although there might be movement for them to become well resourced, inspired by rewards for finding vulnerabilities
The issue I believe remains with the shades
"I somehow doubt they are 'well resourced'... " They mean financially, I'm guessing. Which means that they're paid to do it and supplied equipment and tools, one would assume. That's well resourced in comparison to 'amateur' attacks.
So careful about China gov's public image

Did he also acuse the "commies" of "draining our precious bodily fluids"?
Cyber-security firm says attacks are proof we need more cyber-security
In other news, the baker said we should eat more bread, the milkman said we don't drink enough milk, and the butcher says we need to eat more meat.
No self-serving press releases going on here...
Payback can be Hell
What goes around comes around and when it does, watch out.
