Google is looking for insiders in the Chinese office
Google has begun a thorough check of its Chinese representative in search of insiders who could help hackers make a successful attack (this is a recent operation "Aurora").
It is no secret that Chinese intelligence agencies are actively introducing agents into Western companies in order to steal intellectual property. It is likely that the same scheme worked with Google. As you know, the key element of the hacking was the installation of the Hydraq trojans on the internal Google network. Now they are checking how malicious software got on corporate computers.
Representatives of the search giant do not comment on the situation, but confirm the fact of the investigation. According to Chinese sources, employees of Google China from January 13, blocked access to the corporate network, some were fired, and some were transferred to other Asian divisions.
