    Did any1 else hear about this? It happened a while ago, i cant believe they stole the source codes from multiple companies over a period of a couple months. These guys are beast hackers. Its crazy that they used an unknown hole in IE and seamlessly infiltrated their network and raped them from the inside.

    The really crazy part was they were in their system for months! and google didnt know till they shut down the connection and had already left.

    This is an article i just read:

    One of the cooler stories about out the whole Google-China debalce is that Google hacked the hackers. It "began a secret counteroffensive," breaking into a computer in Taiwan, gathering evidence the attacks originated from mainland China, possibly orchestrated by the government.
    Google's delta force found evidence that the hackers had attacked 33 other companies, like Adobe, and that the onslaught actually came from China, not Taiwan. More to the point, "much of the evidence, including the sophistication of the attacks, strongly suggested an operation run by Chinese government agencies, or at least approved by them." Unfortunately, Google can't prove the Chinese government's involvement 100 percent, which is why the Obama administration is pussy-footing around the issue.
    Still, it's pretty awesome: If you hack Google, they will hack your ass right back.



    So all in all, although google got raped along with 33 other companies, they have earned their street cred for tracking them down and beating them with a bag 'o taters(hurts like hell and gets the point across without leaving a mark!)

    Well according to Mcafee there was no antivirus program that had the data to block the exploits and malware they used. sooo basically they combined a bunch of original ideas and hacks and raped at will :ninja:
