Several journalists who cover Burma said Sunday that they had received warnings from Google that their email accounts might have been hacked by "state-sponsored attackers."

The warnings began appearing last week, said the journalists, who included employees of Eleven Media, one of Burma's leading news organisations; Bertil Lintner, a Thailand-based author and expert on Burma's ethnic groups; and a Burmese correspondent for The Associated Press.
