Cyber Attacks Forces Google to Review Operations in China


In the middle of December 2009, Google received yet illegal attempt to break into their corporate infrastructure; a norm for an online organization as established as Google. Shockingly, investigators found out that the attacks were actually beyond anything ordinary.
According to the company, the attackers have targeted a select number of Gmail accounts that belongs to Chinese human rights activists. However, the attackers didn’t get much out of their attempts as they still didn’t get to access the accounts’ email contents and only two Gmail accounts was breached in that attack.
Due to this attacks and many other previous attempts that were deemed as acts to limit free speech on Internet, Google has decided not to censor Google.cn search results any longer and are currently considering the feasibility of their operation in China. While the company said that they are going to discuss with the Chinese government in order to let them run the site uncensored within the nation’s law, there is a possibility that they have to shut down Google.cn operations altogether.
Well, guess Google already had enough of China’s antiques.
