Online work accounts of News Corporation journalists were broken into by snoops with ties to China, it was claimed today.<\/p>\n

Rupert Murdoch’s empire announced the security breach on Friday, describing it as a “persistent cyber-attack,” and saying it had hired Mandiant to figure out what happened. It is believed the intruders were seeking messages, files and other internal information for Beijing’s spymasters.<\/p>\n

The intrusion was discovered on January 20, the corporation’s flagship British newspaper The Times reported<\/a> this afternoon. The cyber-attack “included the targeting of emails and documents of some employees, including journalists,” wrote defense editor Larisa Brown.<\/p>\n
