Yahoo Targeted in Chinese Attacks

Posted by on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 9:24 AM

Rival Google has been involved in a high-profile row with the Chinese government following similar cyber-attacks against Gmail accounts.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) has confirmed eight cases of Yahoo e-mail hacks in recent weeks.
