More hints have become available in the hunt for the hackers that attacked on a number of U.S. companies including Google. In reaction to the attack, Google announced that it could pull out of China entirely.
The Google attacks had mainly targeted e-mail accounts of Chinese human rights activists, thus jeopardizing their personal security. A Chinese freelance security consultant in his 30s has published extracts of the attack code in a special forum that the Chinese government is known to have access to.
