Chinese hack computers at congressman's office


Associated Press


WASHINGTON — A Virginia congressman said today the FBI has found that four of his government computers have been hacked by sources working out of China.

In remarks prepared for delivery this afternoon, Rep. Frank Wolf says he has been told by the FBI that four computers in his personal office were compromised.

The Virginia Republican says that similar incidents — also originating from China — have taken place on computers of other members of Congress and at least one House committee.

A spokesman for Wolf says the four computers were being used by staff members working on human rights issues.

Wolf is a longtime critic of the Chinese government's human rights record.
