Billionaires, hackers, the Chinese and The New York Times

Chinese hackers took notice to stories in 2012 about communist billionaires written about by newspapers like The New York Times and blogs like ThinkBillions.

The hack attacks began after the newspaper published "Billions in Hidden Riches For Family of Chinese Leader" on October 25, 2012, identifying the significant accumulated wealth of the family of Chinese prime minster Wen Jiabao.

Symantec, the software security company, has gone into corporate-pr damage-control mode over failure to block hackers on Times corporate pc's.

Stay tune for future hack attack updates.
