Last week, Google said it had discovered an attempt to steal the email passwords of hundreds of its email account holders


Reuters, June 6 - Google has become a "political tool" vilifying the Chinese government, People's Daily said, warning that the US Internet giant’s statements about hacking attacks traced to China could hurt its business.



The warning appeared in the overseas edition of the People’s Daily, the leading newspaper of China, indicating that political tensions between the United States and China over Internet security could linger.



By saying that Chinese human rights activists were among the targets of the hacking, Google was "deliberately pandering to negative Western perceptions of China, and strongly hinting that the hacking attacks were the work of the Chinese government," the People's Daily overseas edition said in a front-page commentary.




The latest friction with Google could bring Internet policy back to the foreground of US-China relations, reprising tensions last year when the Obama administration took up Google’s complaints about "hacking and censorship from China".

According to Daily Telegraph report on June, 6, it says that  "Google is "trying to provoke a new dispute between China and the US" and has become a "political tool", said a front-page editorial of the Chinese-language People's Daily Overseas.


"For when the international winds shift direction, it may become sacrificed to politics and will be spurned by the marketplace," it said, without specifying how Google's business could be hurt.



"This is not the first slander from Google [...] if the company has any evidence, why not settle the matter through the courts," the editorial said. "Why does Google again and again try to discredit China and try to sway public opinion towards thinking there is a China threat?"

Chinese cyberspies, who targeted the personal Gmail accounts of top U.S. officials, are trying to gain access to computers belonging to China specialists and defense contractors who circulate in and out of the U.S. government and talk regularly with those in power, according to security experts who have tracked these schemes, WSJ says.



It also says that "the stealth infiltration campaign, similar in tactics to the Gmail scheme that Google Inc. disclosed last week, represents cyberspies' efforts to circumvent the high security walls on official government email accounts.



Such targeted "phishing" expeditions involved sending booby-trapped emails to people who have information a hacker is seeking. The emails typically appear to have been sent by a trusted colleague and ask the recipient to open an attachment. When that is done, a malicious software program is placed on the computer that could perform multiple functions, such as tracking all keystrokes or providing full access to an organization's computer network.



They frequently are used to obtain access to passwords and private correspondence.



Their occurrence has spiked in the past few months, security experts say. Kevin Mandia, CEO of the security firm Mandiant, said his firm saw four to five times the average number of attacks from China in April. "It was a huge uptick," he said.



The attacks have been traced to China, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are directly ordered by the government.



James Mulvenon, a China and cyber-security expert, has been tracking a four-year phishing campaign against China specialists in Washington. He's logged more than 100 rounds of attacks against 30-40 China specialists, many of whom have rotated in and out of government.



"I was struck by the breadth of it," he said. "They had targeted huge numbers of China specialists all over D.C.," both former government officials and those about to take federal jobs. "They want to find people who have access."
