Today in hackings originating from China: The New York Times. The hacking incident began after The Times started working on this story about Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao’s fortune. Every Times employee had their corporate password stolen, and 53 employees had their personal computers infiltrated, mostly outside of the office. So yeah, kind of a big story.

Update: Wall Street Journal is reporting that they have also been targeted by Chinese hackers, who are monitoring the paper’s coverage of China. They’re reporting that one way the system was breached was through the Beijing bureau.
