Chinese Government Denies Hacking Google Accounts
China denied that the country was the source of recent attacks against users of Google Inc.’s email service. But the government in recent weeks has acknowledged taking a more active role in policing cyberspace to defend against security threats.
Google this week said people operating in the country’s northeast infiltrated the email accounts of hundreds of Gmail users, including government and military personnel, activists and journalists. It was at least the third time since early last year that Google has fingered China as the origin of disturbances to its operations.
