Google might well be pulling out of China this week after news that they were subjected to a sophisticated synchronised attack.
Google and other security experts have indicated that the attacks are from China itself (ie the PRC) and are much more advanced than the normal attacks received by normal isolated hackers.
The attacks targeted Chinese human rights activists worldwide and it’s fairly obvious from people in the know that the hackers were backed by a nation state.
It’s unfortunate that the Chinese government continues it’s efforts to isolate itself from the rest of the world. One thing is for sure: the PRC isn’t making itself any friends globally.
