Really?

"no one is taking any time to wonder how Chinese hackers were able to get into its cloud"
Reportedly the main method used was a previously undocumented flaw in Internet Explorer.
I don't believe that's a Google product.

No balls

My government (US) won't do anything about China, at least not since Bill Clinton and Bush jr sold us into dept with them. Gads I wish we had a government that had balls and wasn't corrupt. Ahh that's what movies are for I guess

For those going Crackers hunting Hackers and Chinese Checkers :-)

"It highlights the weaknesses in Google's cloud computing plans and how the US government's obsession to snoop on its citizens actually puts them at risk.

Fortunately for both Google and the US government, they can sidetrack the problem with a bit of spin that paints them as 'fighting for freedom' against the Chinese government's attempts to clamp down on free speech." ..... Hmmmm.

The following post to a sister mag, may suggest that Google and Uncle Sam have realised that it is not Information about China for the West to BroadBandCast to China to know, but Intelligence from the West being BroadBandCast into China for the Chinese to Know, which may be causing Google to withdraw its search engine facility/Intellectual Property Energy Store...... which would be a real dumb move, because of what it would secretly reveal to everyone.

Google [and all search engines are similarly blessed and afflicted] need to be very wary indeed and aware of the damage that they will be able to do, for they are easily groomed and outed as being affiliated to whatever particular phishing for information and intelligence entity they may be a covert proxy for, [and there may be more than one, and Google themselves may not know that they are being used and/or abused as a proxy by others] should one share with them sensitive information in a file or a document or a blog or whatever, for their Storage and Easy Immediate Anywhere Access Plan, which would then subsequently become Unavailable Immediately Anywhere, for then is the Information Identified by such an Action as being Extremely Valuable by Virtue of the Intelligence it would be Sharing…… with it being Uncomfortable and Disruptive and Subversive in one Camp with a Tentative Information Advantage and Penetrative and Explosive and Helpful in A.N.Other which would be Suffering Presently the Intelligence Disadvantage.

Quote: The US President's office said that it backs the "right to a free Internet".

Oh, man! Glad to see old Obama has a sense of humour.

Security should be just as good

I would expect the security on U.S. government e-mail-tapping software to be just as good or better than the security on Google e-mails themselves. And I know which one I wouldn't be sent to Camp X-Ray for hacking.

Anyway, doesn't the U.S. system only read e-mails of people likely to cause trouble for the U.S. government? Which, yes, could include Chinese human rights activists. They annoy everybody.

So true

JQ - spot on .. I mean to have some Chinese illegally spy on US citizens that US would spy on legally is just outrage .. outrage I tells ya.
Maybe they can bomb them or something, that would learn them.

Ever since cloud computing was touted round as the next big thing .. I could only see hackers of all breeds gleefully rubbing their collective grubby mitts. - Heck hacking just one system has gotta be easier than hacking 50 or more.

Good times to be a hacker in the future.

Spy vs. Spy

So let me get this straight...the US Government's unconstitutional citizen monitoring and control software was hijacked by the sinister Chinese government for the purpose of spying on Chinese citizens? That's just not right! Some authentic US citizens could have been deprived of being rightfully monitored by this nefarious attack. Them Chinese got some nerve!
