Technology | Media | China Google, the world's most popular search engine, said last week it may pull out of the world's biggest Internet market by users after reporting it had been hit by a "sophisticated" cyber-attack on its network that resulted in theft of its intellectual property. The sources, who are familiar with the situation, told Reuters that the attack, which targeted people who have access to specific parts of Google networks, may have been facilitated by people working in Google China's office. "We're not commenting on rumor and speculation. This is an ongoing investigation, and we simply cannot comment on the details," a Google spokeswoman said. Security analysts told Reuters the malicious software (malware) used in the Google attack was a modification of a Trojan called Hydraq. A Trojan is malware that, once inside a computer, allows someone unauthorized access. The sophistication in the attack was in knowing whom to attack, not the malware itself, the analysts said. Local media, citing unnamed sources, reported that some Google China employees were denied access to internal networks after January 13, while some staff were put on leave and others transferred to different offices in Google's Asia Pacific operations. Google said it would not comment on its business operations. TALKS SOON Google, which has denied rumors that it has already decided to shut down its China offices, said on Monday it contacted the Chinese government last week after the announcement. "We are going to have talks with them in the coming few days," Google said. Google is also still in the process of scanning its internal networks since the cyber-attack in mid-December. China has tried to play down Google's threat to leave, saying there are many ways to resolve the issue, but insisting all foreign companies, Google included, must abide by Chinese laws. Washington said it was issuing a diplomatic note to China formally requesting an explanation for the attacks. The Google issue risks becoming another irritant in China's relationship with the United States. Ties are already strained by arguments over the yuan currency's exchange rate, which U.S. critics say is unfairly low, trade protectionism and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. Washington has long been worried about Beijing's cyber-spying program. A congressional advisory panel said in November the Chinese government appeared increasingly to be penetrating U.S. computers to gather useful data for its military. (Reporting by the Shanghai newsroom; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani) Technology Media China Comments See All Comments (12) | Post Comment Jan 18, 2010 Anyone who has lived in China knows full well that the Chinese spy agencies are watching them. In fact, when I was studying in Nanjing University, we tried to watch a movie about the Tiananmen Square incident with some of our Chinese classmates. Before the movie was played, the American director came to say that he got a call from the Chinese police station saying that they know about the movie and if we show it there will be consequences. We were told that the consequences might have been something along the lines of all the chinese staff being fired. You might ask how they knew? Unfortunately, we made the mistake of talking about it on our google group. So, the Chinese government is certainly watching google, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were watching all foreigners in their borders. After that incident, I don’t feel safe in China at all. Now I feel even less safe since Google came out in the open with what has been happening for years, and the average chinese person sticks up for their government’s spy agency. China is a very dangerous country, and it is about time the rest of the world realizes this, especially companies operating here. blahhhhhh Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 It isn’t ture.I promise,I am a Chinese,our country is great.I think west countries are very dangerous and all Chinese people realizes this. leeteng Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 There is no spy agency in USA? as the government of the most populous country,whish is still a developing one,she has the responsibility to guarantee the whole nation’s stabiliy and the society’s harmony by all means! also to the first floor”blahhhhhh”,the police station informed you beforehand,not detained you without precaution,don’t you think it is a friendly behavior to the foreigners like you? cosmos_roamer Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 It is very obvious that China’s leadership is preparing for an imminent bid for world domination – a hostile takeover writ large. Why are we doing so much business with this government? Those millions they paid to Bill Clinton have really paid off. They stole 100% of our nuclear weapons secrets; they openly threatened us with nuclear attack when Bush II first took office; and I really don’t think they would hesitate to use them. And they have one of the worst human-rights records. We need to realize that China is no friend of ours and take large steps to protect ourselves. LJB Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 At best China is a competitor, at worse its a potential adversary. The sooner the US and other western nation wake up to this reality, the better the whole world would be. We should stop treating China with special rules that dont apply to other economic world powers. I am all for the Chinese people and hope they make valuable contriubtions to bettering the world at large, but its high time they start doing so. Marcus180 Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 what you guys are talking about? i am a chinese,our government never never thinks about dominating the world.on the contrary,we want to get along with all the countries peacefully,all we chinese people think so.what western medias are telling you about us everyday?you are all blind men!just come to china to see what is happening here! cosmos_roamer Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 Many of us in the West remember Tiananmen Square. China is willing to send its military in to kill its own young people. Any government that would willingly turn on its citizenry is a dictatorship and not worthy of respect. The name “people’s republic” is a slap in the face to all Chinese citizens. If it were the people’s republic the people would be in control of the state. Instead the state controls them. Never enter relationships in good faith with one who is willing to kill their own. Tiananmen Square will never be forgotten. And those who turned on their people will never be forgiven. China needs to get over its denial. Harmony only happens when the individual is allowed to be who they are. Only when those individuals are allowed a place in society can cooperation and harmony be achieved. Truth cannot be hidden. This they will realize in the coming years. Benny_Acosta Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 This is exactely the Chinese mind…but the Weateners dont know it. One Chinese friend come with the smile, then 2 then three, so many friends, nice people, then ten come smiling offering the best, and you didnt realise but you cannot move anymore, the smile is changing in teeth and it was a dragon that tied your legs and hands, now you realise…too late… Marx Report As Abusive Jan 18, 2010 Talk to any Marine fighting in Korea during the war and you’ll hear how ruthless the Chinese are to their very own people! As far as the police being kind to warn them….ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? This is 2010!!! A freakin movie for goodness sake and yet the all-powerful Chinese Masters tremble that they may lose CONTROL to poor students watching a HISTORICAL FACT???
