http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/asia/13beijing.html It looks like the the Chinese went in the backdoor of google and had their way without a courtesy of a reacharound. Americans are getting stupid going to bed with the chinese and do not realize that we are the frog being boiled in water. 60 years from now do not be surprised if the American red white and blue goes down and the Chinese red flag waves over the whitehouse.
And I always thought the best hackers were in Eastern Europe. Seriously intellectual property doesn't exist in China, they steal everything. I am surprised Google getting hacked though since they are no slouches.
You're finally seeing the real war that the US has been in for the last 8 years. It's coming into full perspective in the next month.
