BlockBeats News, August 5th. According to Bloomberg, sources revealed that in recent days hackers launched a series of sophisticated attacks against Wall Street firms, targeting the information systems of major asset management companies. The attackers attempted to infiltrate the information systems of the world's largest hedge funds, including Two Sigma Investments, Citadel, and Point72 Asset Management.
