A Cyberattack From China: TimesCast: Chinese hackers infiltrated The New York Times’s computer systems, getting passwords for its reporters and other.
SAN FRANCISCO — For the last four months, Chinese hackers have
persistently attacked The New York Times, infiltrating its computer

After surreptitiously tracking the intruders to study their movements
and help erect better defenses to block them, The Times and computer
security experts have expelled the attackers and kept them from breaking
back in.
