Wall Street Journal says it also hit by Chinese hackers

Washington - The Wall Street Journal reported that it was attacked by Chinese hackers, a day after The New York Times reported similar attacks had been going on for four months.

Journal publisher Dow Jones and Co said Thursday that the newspaper’s computer systems were being infiltrated by Chinese hackers, adding that it was an apparent effort to spy on reporters covering China.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating such attacks on the media for more than a year, the Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the inquiry.



The Journal did not give any more details about its own problems.//DPA
