Chinese hackers, one cleverly disguised as Australia's prime minister, others armed with the latest tools for chipping away at firewalls, take on the Good Gray Lady. Bonuses: 1. Who's happier with the placement, the advertiser who wants you to wire money, or the one peddling mug shots? 2. Hackers work long hours, but there's plenty of down time.

Hacker teams regularly began work, for the most part, at 8 am Beijing time. Usually they continued for a standard work day, but sometimes the hacking persisted until midnight. Occasionally, the attacks stopped for two-week periods, Mandiant said, although the reason was not clear.
