Hackers in China Attacked The New York Times for Last 4 Months

http://t.co/xYevZlpA  (New York Times)

   "For the last four months, Chinese hackers have persistently attacked
    The New York Times, infiltrating its computer systems and getting
    passwords for its reporters and other employees ... The timing of the
    attacks coincided with the reporting for a Times investigation,
    published online on Oct. 25, that found that the relatives of Wen
    Jiabao, China's prime minister, had accumulated a fortune worth
    several billion dollars through business dealings."
