Lawmakers Say Computers Hacked By Chinese

2 House Members Say Sources In China Infiltrated Electronic Info On Political Dissidents

 

(AP) Two House members said Wednesday their Capitol Hill computers, containing information about political dissidents from around the world, have been hacked by sources apparently working out of China.

 

Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf says four of his computers were hacked. New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith says two of his computers were compromised in December 2006 and March 2007.

 

The two lawmakers are longtime critics of China's record on human rights.
