Suspected Chinese hackers hit News Corp with 'persistent cyberattack' in January
CNN
News Corp suffered a "persistent cyberattack" in January, the company said Friday, and investigators believe Chinese spies may be responsible.
The media conglomerate, whose publications include The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post, said the hack targeted one of its IT providers and that the attackers succeeded in stealing some unspecified data.
News Corp (NWS) hired cybersecurity firm Mandiant (MNDT) to investigate the breach. The firm "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, said in a statement.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
