if you where paying attention at all in January you remember Google reported an attack on its Gmail accounts and other applications,from Chinese hackers, the result of this is google pulling out of china. A report by Alex Stamos of iSEC Partners Inc., a cyber security firm, states that the number of companies hit by attacks that bear a strong resemblance to those on Google could total more than 100—about three times the number previously reported. Mr. Stamos stresses, however, that the resemblance does not necessarily mean the same people were behind all of the attacks. this isn't a new thing since chines hackers have been attacking western companies as long back as 2000, the big point in this is realizing how good they've gotten at it. no more DOS attacks, now they are after information, not just to bring down a site, this can be a major problem in the coming days.
