Wired | The massive data breach that affected 500 million Marriott customers feels like a recent event, given that the company just discovered and disclosed it over the past four months. But it's important to remember that the attack began much earlier, especially as Reuters and others have reported that state-sponsored Chinese hackers were behind it.
