In the fourth round of Google vs. China, and now with both sides doing damage control, rumors have begun circulating about the origin of the recent attacks on Google’s servers. Specifically, research shows it could be an inside job , ie the addition of catalysts-obsolete versions of Internet Explorer, have been employed in the offices of Google in China.
According to sources, an unknown number of Chinese employees in offices began to file back to their homes, while another large part was transferred (to Siberia, probably). It is even said that employees “under the magnifying glass” Uncle Google were isolated from the internal network for a brief moment to ensure the safety of it.
However Google retains a disturbing silence, especially if we consider how open and transparent they have been in terms of details, at least until it came time to clean under the rug, that is.
Even so, this could well be the determining factor for what the Internet giant is so eager to leave China. I imagine that the inability to trust even your own staff-that even was convinced to assist in the attack would involve a situation far from being “controlled” by some complex administrative measures.
The attack rate “zero hour” itself exploited a security hole to an outdated version “of Internet Explorer from Microsoft, the Redmond company fervently insisting that we take the leap to Internet Explorer 8 as before, and entire nations-as the specific case of France and Germany – recommending citizens to leave the browser completely until further notice. The perfect opportunity to take a look at Chrome or Firefox, and feeling somewhat sorry for the now-paranoid Google employees who star in this bizarre witch hunt.
