Cyberattack on Washington Post Strikes Journalists’ Email Accounts

A cyberattack on the Washington Post compromised email accounts of several journalists and was potentially the work of a foreign government, company officials told some affected staffers in recent days, according to people familiar with the situation.

Staffers were told the intrusions compromised journalists’ Microsoft accounts and could have granted the intruder access to work emails they sent and received, some of the people said. The reporters targeted include those on the national-security and economic-policy teams, including some who write about China, the people said.

In an internal memo on Sunday, Post Executive Editor Matt Murray said he wanted to notify staff about a “possible targeted unauthorized intrusion into our email system,” adding that the Post believes a limited number of journalists’ accounts were affected. He said the company discovered the issue on Thursday evening and has begun an investigation. [WSJ]
