Washington Post: We Were Also Hacked By the Chinese 135
tsu doh nimh writes "A sophisticated cyberattack targeted The Washington Post in an operation that resembled intrusions against other major American news organizations and that company officials suspect was the work of Chinese hackers, the publication acknowledged on Friday. The disclosure came just hours after a former Post employee shared information about the break-in with ex-Postie reporter Brian Krebs, and caps a week marked by similar stories from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Krebs cites a former Post tech worker saying that the publication gave one of its hacked servers to the National Security Agency for analysis, a claim that the Post's leadership denies. The story also notes that the Post relied on software from Symantec, the same security software that failed to detect intrusions at The New York Times for many months."

NPR had a great story on this yesterday, but since you most news is propaganda, you must ask these ignorant questions.
Your ignorance breeds unto itself.

I know a newspaper from a small Kansas town that hasn't been attacked. It's produced by a 80 year old man with his mechanical typewriter. Maybe these major American news organizations could learn a thing or two from him.
