The espionage is believed to have originated in China. Experts say computer criminals in China and Russia have also infiltrated America's electrical grid, covertly installing software to potentially damage it at any time (the governments...
...Facebook won't say how many accounts were compromised last week, but a rep notes that the site has never had a scammer hack more than a small fraction of its accounts, adding that the company's security team - which has more than 100 analysts, engineers and programmers - can handle whatever comes their way.
