7:20 p.m. | Updated Adding update from Intel spokesman about the possibility of other similarities between the Google and Intel attacks.

Intel said that it was a victim of a “sophisticated” cyber-attack that occurred around the same time as the much-publicized attack on Google and other companies.

Intel, which disclosed the January attack in a regulatory filing on Monday, played down the connection to the attacks on Google.
