The Chinese government could be behind a cyberattack on Microsoft’s email system in China, according to GreatFire, a nonprofit that monitors censorship in China.
GreatFire believes the email program Outlook was subjected to a so-called man-in-the-middle attack, in which hackers insert themselves into systems to eavesdrop while relaying messages between users. The attack lasted most of Saturday, GreatFire said.
