A leaked cable has revealed that the attack on Google, known as Operation Aurora, was directed by Chinese government officials. This attack, which took place in 2009, targeted Google and other major companies in an attempt to steal intellectual property and access user data.
The leaked cable, which was released by WikiLeaks, contains information from a US diplomat stating that Chinese authorities were behind the cyberattacks on Google. This evidence further confirms suspicions that China was responsible for the attack.
The Google attack had significant implications, not only for Google but also for other companies that were targeted. It raised concerns about the security of online data and highlighted the growing threat of cyberattacks from state-sponsored actors.
In addition to Google, other major companies such as Yahoo, Adobe, and Northrop Grumman were targeted in the cyberattack.
The main motive behind the attack on Google was to steal intellectual property and access sensitive user data.
Google responded by increasing its cybersecurity measures and working with authorities to investigate the attack. The company also announced that it would no longer comply with Chinese government censorship laws, leading to its partial withdrawal from the Chinese market.
Overall, the leaked cable revealing Chinas involvement in the Google attack sheds light on the growing threat of state-sponsored cyberattacks and the need for increased cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data. The implications of such attacks are far-reaching and highlight the importance of cooperation between governments and technology companies to combat cyber threats.|
