Chinese Hackers Steal Google Email
Chinese hackers targeted the email accounts of senior U.S. officials and hundreds of other prominent people. Victims, including government and military personnel, Asian officials, Chinese activists and journalists, were tricked into sharing their Gmail passwords with “bad actors” based in China, Google said in an unusual blog post. The goal of the latest hijacking campaign “seems to have been to monitor the contents of the these users’ emails” wrote company engineer Eric Grosse.
