Hold onto your passwords, folks! In a shocking twist straight out of a cyber-thriller movie, the Washington Post’s email system got hit by hackers—allegedly linked to foreign governments! Talk about a plot twist!
According to none other than the Wall Street Journal, executive editor Matt Murray sent an internal memo notifying employees that several journalists, particularly those delving into national security and economic policy (hello, China!), found their Microsoft accounts under siege. I mean, who needs spies when you can just hack an email?
In their effort to protect their precious journalistic gold nuggets, the Post rebooted everyone’s logins faster than you can say “security breach!” But before you panic and switch to a carrier pigeon for communication, they reassured us that this unfortunate event hasn’t impacted their readers. Phew!
So what’s the takeaway here? This little hacking fiesta is just another reminder to keep your digital doors locked tighter than a drum. And maybe stop using ‘password123’ as your passphrase!
Stay vigilant out there in cyberspace!
