The Wall Street Journal parent company believes the threat is contained and employees are being offered guidance
Wall Street Journal-parent News Corp said on Friday one of its network systems containing sensitive business information, including personal data of its customers and employees, was the “target of persistent cyberattack activity.”
“Mandiant assesses that those behind this activity have a China nexus, and we believe they are likely involved in espionage activities to collect intelligence to benefit China’s interests,” David Wong, vice president of consulting at Mandiant, told Reuters. The attack which was discovered on Jan. 20 affected Dow Jones, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, News Corp headquarters and its U.K. news operations, according to the report.
