New York Times, Wall Street Journal Infiltrated by Chinese Hackers 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Wall Street Journal is reporting Chinese hackers broke into its
computer systems to monitor its coverage of China. The news came one day
after the New York Times said Chinese hackers had infiltrated its
computers and stolen employee passwords. The hacks at the Times
coincided with the paper's publication of an expose on how the relatives
of China's prime minister amassed vast fortunes under his leadership.
The Times hackers appear to have used tactics employed by the Chinese
military.
