[FRANCE24] Hackers have infiltrated The New York Times' computer systems in recent months, a move that may be linked to its October exposé of the wealth amassed by relatives of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, the paper said Wednesday. China has denied the claims.
There's not a day that goes by when somebody's not trying to break into the Burg. The majority of those trying to break down the door are Chinese.
| What could the Chinese possibly want with Rantburg? They are at best a tertiary interest here, and everything is open source anyway. |
The Wall Street Journal also says its computers have been infiltrated by Chinese hackers trying to monitor the newspaper's coverage of China.
The Journal didn't address how the hacking of its systems occurred, but it said it has faced such threats from China in recent years and denied that attempt stemmed from a desire to "gain commercial advantage or to misappropriate customer information." |
