China attack on Gmail also affecting Hotmail?

[LazyLion]

I have been getting e-mails all day from a friend of mine on Hotmail in the USA. She works for a mission aid organisation, not sure if it has any links to China.

Anyway it looks like someone in China has hacked her account and harvested her e-mail contacts.

The e-mails I am getting originate in China - Chinese IP address.... but they are from her hotmail address to her hotmail contacts.

Makes me wonder if the same group that hacked the Gmail activists is also hacking the activists on hotmail?

I wouldn't be surprised, the Chinese appear to be targeting all activists. To get an extensive list of activists and their networks.
