GOOGLE said it is "reviewing the feasibility of our business operations in China" and may back out of China entirely, as it disclosed it had been hit with major cyber attacks it believes to have originated from the country.
Google disclosed its thinking in a blog posting.
In the post, Google said it detected a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China" in mid-December and that the attack resulted in "the theft of intellectual property from Google".
The post said that Google believed the attackers were aiming to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human-rights activists but that only two Gmail accounts appeared to have been accessed.
