Chinese hacking of US media becoming a “widespread phenomenon”


by - Feb 1 2013, 9:40am AUSEDT

Computer systems operated by The Wall Street Journal have been penetrated by Chinese hackers for the apparent purpose of monitoring the publication's coverage of China, the newspaper reported Thursday.
The acknowledgement came in a short article published less than 24 hours after The New York Times reported a similar breach. According to the earlier report, the NYT network had been rooted for four months by hackers who were intent on gathering intelligence about a series of stories related to the family of China’s prime minister.




The report cited unnamed sources as saying Bloomberg News was also targeted by Chinese hackers after the news organization published an article in June about the wealth accumulated by relatives of Xi Jinping. Xi has since become China's general secretary of the Communist Party and is expected to become president in March.
The NYT went on to say that media outlets have been targeted since 2008, and today's WSJ article characterized the hacking campaign as extensive.
"The infiltration at the Journal, along with reports of computer network breaches at the New York Times and other news outlets, indicate that Chinese spying on US media has become a widespread phenomenon," the WSJ said. "Chinese hackers for years have targeted major US media companies with hacking, repeatedly penetrating deep inside some newsgathering systems, according to several people familiar with the response to the cyberattacks."
The FBI has been investigating the attacks on media outlets for more than a year and considers the activity a national-security case against US interests, the paper said, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. The WSJ hacks, which company executives said are "ongoing," aren't an attempt to gain commercial advantage or to appropriate customer data, Thursday's report said. The WSJ has overhauled its computer systems to improve security.

Petraeus downfall | ARS Technica

Petraeus downfall illustrates scope of feds’ e-mail snooping powers



The resignation of Gen. David Petraeus began, we all now know, with Gmail. Petraeus' biographer and reported mistress Paula Broadwell apparently regarded Tampa socialite and Petraeus friend Jill Kelley as a romantic rival, and she e-mailed Kelley from an anonymous Gmail account, warning her to stay away from the general. Kelley turned those e-mails over to the FBI, which began investigating who was behind the messages and eventually identified Broadwell as the owner of the account.




Really who actually cares.....At the end of the day he got some tail in Afghan....Lucky him.

Megan Fox's Burgeoning Baby Bump

Taking care of their to-do list, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were spotted out and about in Studio City, California (June 6).

The “Jennifer’s Body” babe looked lovely as she exited Romance Nail Salon following her manicure/pedicure appointment sporting a grey t-shirt with a red plaid shirt tied around the waist of her black trousers.

And given the persistent pregnancy rumors as of late, Megan may have added fuel to the fire by the way she was holding her tummy as she walked.

As for her misquote in Jalouse magazine, Megan was issued an apology- In a Jalouse cover story featuring Ms. Megan Fox, we unfortunately misquoted Ms. Fox. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Flaunting her immaculate figure, Jada Pinkett Smith stopped by the NBC studios to promote her latest film, "Madagascar 3", in New York City this morning (June 7).

Greeting cameras with an ear-to-ear smile, the 40-year-old actress (MILF) strutted into her interview in a pair of tiny black leather shorts that she paired with an olive tank top and matching high heels.

While boosting interest in "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted", Jada explained on the "Today" show how she get's into character to play a rather large wild animal, saying, "I really have to reach inside to my inner hippo to play Gloria, but it's so much fun."

Hinting that there might be yet another sequel in the works, Mrs. Smith added, "I mean I really love these Madagascar movies and I hope we can do a fourth one the third one is fantastic."

The film follows Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman, who are still fighting to make their way back to New York City as their journey takes them through Europe - where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus which they help reinvent.
