The hackers' email looked like a newsletter: "Nasty"
KD politician Elisabet Lann, municipal councilor in Gothenburg, has also been exposed in the extensive Chinese hacker attack that became known this week, reports SVT Nyheter.
In her case, it was an email that she received and opened in 2021. It looked like a regular newsletter and the group behind it may have accessed information about her geographic location and IP address. She describes it as "disgusting".
- This is not just a general spam attack that can hit anyone, but this is aimed at democratically elected politicians.
The hacker attack is said to have targeted several million people and politicians in several countries have been affected.

Arrested reporters in Russia
Putin seems to want to replace the reporter with a bicycle torpedo
Russia seems to want to exchange the imprisoned Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich for the Russian torpedo Vadim Krasikov, writes the BBC.
Krasikov is convicted of having shot dead a Chechen former commander who lived in exile in Berlin. He is also suspected of several murders where he is believed to have used a bicycle as an escape vehicle, which earned him the nickname "the bicycle torpedo".
When President Vladimir Putin was interviewed by American media profiler Tucker Carlson, he said he wanted a "Russian patriot who has eliminated a bandit in Europe" to be included in a prisoner exchange for an American citizen.
Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russian security and the history of Vladimir Putin, says the switch would send a clear message to Russian foreign agents.
- It may take a long time, but we will get you out. An important message to people who put themselves in very dangerous situations.
