Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. to Probe Hacking of Email Accounts

HeadlineJun 03, 2011

The Obama administration says it has launched an investigation following news of a cyber attack against Google users originating in China. Google says hackers in China tried to break into the Gmail accounts of hundreds of people, including senior U.S. government officials. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the FBI is examining the case.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: “The FBI has got the lead in this as an investigation. I’m not going to confirm anything about origins, except to say that we’re aware of the reports and are obviously concerned about cyber security and have taken action accordingly.”
