A bit confused here. Have all users of MS Outlook desktop software in China been subject to the MitM attack? Or are we talking about people connecting over SMTP/IMAP/POP3 to the Outlook.com service? I'm struggling to see how the first one could be the case, but the article keeps on mentioning Outlook - instead of Outlook.com.
