Google Hacked the Chinese Hackers Right Back [Google]
January 17, 2010 by: My Way
One of the cooler stories out the whole Google-China debacle 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.
