Important news but not new news
While I'm happy that this has finally made the news, this has been going on for years.
I have several friends active in the Tibetan movement and then contact me a few times a year to check out attachments for them. (This isn't counting any emails that they can figure out for themselves). They are always specifically targeted (sometimes to individual emails) and the attachments are always named so that organizers will want to open them (so usually Office documents with names such as those in the article).
I've now put them in contact with SANS so that I don't need to worry about it any more.
P.S. Recently I've been sharing in some of the joy of trying to keep in contact with people behind the Great Firewall. Those that I have information about are fine, the other two are still a mystery.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
