Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hackers believed to be from China have stolen secret South Korean documents on defence and foreign affairs using emails supposedly from Seoul officials.
The suspected hacking occurred when South Korean officials opened attached files with titles referring to events such as this year's visits to China by Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader.
The emails, which looked as if they had been sent from a South Korean presidential official and a South Korean diplomat, contained hacking programs that self-activated when the emails were opened.
