Times Troubled by Technical Trespass
I’m not sure you heard about this. It seems to be making headlines now.
Chinese hackers have been snooping around the New York Times newspaper for months without permission.
They are accused of stealing private information like passwords, and research materials via the Times’ computers.
Maybe the Times needs to change their passwords.
Let’s face it, passwords like “12345”, “ABCDEFG”, and “The Times” are passé.
The penetration by the hackers could have been completely innocent.
They may have been looking for a new Chop Suey recipe.
Then again, they may just have been searching for unique fortune cookie ideas.
Maybe now the Times will take a dim look at Dim Sum.
Oh yes, then there’s this. An unnamed source has told us that in retaliation for the hacking, the newspaper has removed all chop sticks from their dining room.
Too little. Too late if you ask me.
Hmmm…
The Chinese have hacked the NY Times.
They got info without paying a dime.
They stole lots of stuff,
Did they get enough?
What they did is really a crime.
I’ll report on more hacking problems soon.

Humorous Interludes by Ron Yarosh 
Paper Penetrated by Plucky Poachers
Here we go again…
According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) the same group of hackers that penetrated the New York Times also cracked into their private accounts as well.
The Journal reported that the hackers were looking for news stories involving China.
The attack was generated via computers in Beijing.
Of course, Chinese government officials have denied any cyber attacks of American businesses.
Hmmm…
The Chinese hacked into the Journal,
The owners thought it was infernal.
They’re hitting the papers,
And other news makers,
They want to find every news kernel.
