Can someone explain why the screenshot contained text that looks Chinese.

according to the hacked page, it's obviously a Chinese Hacker

I think engadget just blurred out the passwords there.

No, if you look at the characters in the UI.

Still, clearly the answer is that's a hacker's computer. Just because its an India store doesn't mean the hacker is Indian.

Some engadget reader sent the content of the file with a screenshot. Maybe a hacker's computer not necessarily the hacker's computer. Just to be clear.

Yes that cleared it up, thanks.
