"Users of Microsoft's Outlook email service in China had their accounts
hacked on Saturday 17 January by the Chinese government, according to
web monitoring website GreatFire.org. The attacks affected people
using email clients such as Outlook, Mozilla's Thunderbird and apps on
their smartphones that use the SMTP and IMAP protocols, but did not
affect the browser versions such as www.outlook.com. The
man-in-the-middle attack used by the hackers allowed them to intercept
conversations between victims, which appear to be private but are in
fact controlled by the hackers."
