Google reports China-based attack, says pullout possible

[pornguy]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Google said Tuesday the company and at least 20 others were victims of a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack" originating in China in mid-December, evidently to gain access to the e-mail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.

"Based on our investigation to date we believe their attack did not achieve that objective," according to a statement by David Drummond, senior vice president of corporate development and chief legal officer for Google, operator of the most popular Internet search engine.

Google should not have been in China in the first place. They were greedy.

You sleep with dogs, you get fleas. You do business in corrupt jurisdictions, you suffer the consequences.

The Chinese government is evil, and doing business in that country is a huge mistake.
