The New York Times says Chinese hackers probably working for the military or Chinese government have carried out sustained attacks on its computer systems. The Wall Street Journal announced that it too had been hacked by Chinese hackers who were trying to monitor the company’s coverage of China. The Times report said that “over the course of three months” attackers managed to install 45 pieces of malicious software, or malware, and Symantec’s anti-virus software only caught and quarantined one of them. China’s Ministry of National Defense told the Times that the government didn’t have anything to do with the cyber attacks.
