![FireEye’s clients after huge breaches have included Sony and Equifax. Hackers targeted its “Red Team” tools.](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/12/09/business/08JPfireeye1-print/08fireeye-articleLarge-v2.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale)
When governments or companies around the world get hacked, the cyber-security firm FireEye often gets called to come in and investigate.

FireEye didn’t name a country, but some media reports said suspicion immediately fell on Russia and its intelligence services.
