[pchelpers] News:FBI probes hacking allegedly from China

Published: March 21, 2008 at 12:54 PM
WASHINGTON, March 21 (UPI) -- The FBI began a preliminary investigation
into reports of hackers in China accessing e-mail accounts of the Save
Darfur Coalition, based in the United States.

The group, which seeks to end the six-year conflict in Sudan's Darfur
region, said accounts of 10 members were hacked into between early
February and last week, giving the intruders access to its Web server,
The Washington Post reported Friday.

A senior Chinese official, speaking anonymously to the Post, said the
allegation is false.

The hackers "seemed intent on subversively monitoring, probing and
disrupting coalition activities," said Save Darfur Coalition spokesman
M. Allyn Brooks-LaSure.

Web site logs and e-mails showed Internet protocol addresses traced to
China, he said.
