An LA law firm representing Cybersitter who is suing the Chinese government for $2.2 billion dollars for copyright infringement has claimed that it's computers have come under cyber attack.
I wonder who's behind the cyber attack...*cough* China *cough* LA Weekly
Gipson Hoffman & Pancione, which is representing Santa Barbara-based CYBERsitter, LLC in a $2.2 billion lawsuit against China that was announced last week, states that malicious emails that can unleash "Trojan" code enabling the takeover of its computers has been sent to some of its addresses. But the company said it's not clear if any of the attempts were successful.
"Beginning Monday evening, attorneys at Gipson Hoffman & Pancione began receiving several targeted customized Trojan emails made to appear as if they were sent by other members of the firm," the organization states. "Unlike ordinary spam or virus emails, Trojan emails are specially constructed to retrieve data from the target's computer and often allow the sender to gain access to the target's computer or to the company's servers. It has not yet been determined whether any of the attempts were successful."[...]
CYBERsitter also came under an attack in summer that appeared to have Chinese origins.
