Chinese Hacker Cracks Hundreds of Gmail Accounts, Including Those of U.S. Officials

Hundreds of Gmail accounts have been hacked, including senior U.S. government officials, military personnel and activists in South Korea and China. Google says the hacker (or hackers), sent emails to the affected individuals, making themselves look like co-workers. The attack appears to originate from Jinan, China, but how much Google knows about where the attacks originated is uncertain. Security blog Contagio also has a great analysis of the entire attack, including the above image, which shows how closely the login screen was mimicked.”]
