According to a recent article posted on AFP, The Wall Street Journal has followed suit and made an unusual claim. It has announced that its computers were hacked by Chinese hackers after The New York Times did the same yesterday.
The Wall Street Journal followed the New York Times in an announcement that its computers were hacked by the Chinese this Wednesday.
These have allegedly been attempts from the Chinese, specifically the Chinese military, to spy on stories that are being published by journalists that are discussing what is happening with leaders in China.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the widespread hacking that has been going on with computers of major journalism publications has been what they are calling a "widespread phenomenon," according to the article on AFP.
The publications are denying, though, that China is doing any hacking to cause any damage or to gain any sort of commercial advantage over the United States through its publications.
The government is aware of the hacking attacks not only on these companies, but on others as well. She has begun the process toward announcing on international forums that the United States will be taking action to protect itself from hacking, including more attempts at legislation.
The Wall Street Journal reported that staff passwords have been stolen and computer systems have been infiltrated. Emails were attacked and read to find information about the Journal's reporting on Chinese leaders and where that information came from.
Most of the concern centered around suspicions of a focus on the recent wealth acquired by relatives of Chinese leaders of the Communist Party.
