BusinessWeek magazine won the magazine/specialty publications category in the 2008 Investigative Reporters and Editors Awards.
The judges stated, “More frightening to read than a modern techno-thriller novel, BusinessWeek’s real-life series of stories on the growing cyber-war between East and West rivets the reader with dozens of breaches in American security networks. The writers pieced together seemingly unconnected online security problems at several federal departments to reveal a wide-scale problem. Â
“Working at levels where government security made reporting extremely difficult, the stories resulted in a change in Pentagon contracting policy and briefing procedures for military and intelligence officials.  The series shows work on a global scale that reaches the highest levels of government policy.”
