Chinese Attack On Google
Google Beijing office, by Veen
Sometimes I feel like I am living in science fiction, except with no flying cars. Apparently Chinese hackers attacked Google, targeting the personal information of human rights activists. In response Google has said it will stop censoring search results and may pull out of the country entirely, sacrificing like half a billion in yearly revenue. Intense.
The tipping point didn’t come until Google recently uncovered hacking attacks launched from within China. The apparent goals: breaking into the computers of at least 20 major U.S. companies and gathering personal information about dozens of human rights activists trying to shine a light on China’s alleged abuses.
As far as I can tell these attacks were highly sophisticated, stealing source code to try and find security vulnerabilities. You need very intelligent engineers to even read this sort of source code, it’s not for script kiddies.
It seems like the Chinese government is implicated in these attacks, and Google seems pretty pissed. It’s a huge opportunity loss to pull out of China, so there must be some serious malfeasance for Google to put that on the table. Google has previously consented to wide censorship on search results and a pretty total ban on YouTube. I guess a hack attack targeting GMail was just a bridge too far.

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like 
Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from 
Chinese are MR (Mentally Retarded). So they don’t need Google.
Unwarranted attack on the Chinese people.
You have a very low view of Chinese people. Your views might change if you visit or get a chance to wok with Chinese people. By the way. Chinese people spend very little time on talking useless gossip about politicians and spend good 8-10 hours a day to make their country the number # 1 in productivity.
Agree. Sri Lankans can learn a LOT from the Chinese. In comparison to the Chinese, Sri Lankans are selfish, lazy, pathetic bastards. It’s the truth, and before you yell in protest I am Sri Lankan myself.
It seems like we need to go back to the drawing board… These illiterate gits needs to be caught! We need to create some sort of diversion as a trap… and for them to try and brake ‘the new code’. Any ideas?
Yes they are so illiterate that they can use a computer and hack into google…
