Did China attack Google? It sure sounds like it. China censors everything from basic search results to every web directory known to man, why does it surprise anyone that they would attempt to hack into anyone’s business?

Microsoft said Thursday that a security vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser was used in cyberattacks which prompted Google to threaten to shut down its operations in China.

Web security firm MaAfee Inc. said meanwhile that the attacks on Google and other companies showed a level of sophistication beyond that of cyber criminals and more typical of a nation-state.
