As recently reported on the Technology2Reality Blog (http://technology2reality.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?post=52&action=edit), the spate of attacks on Google Inc.’s global servers was alleged to have been carried out by the Chinese government. The Chinese government denied these alligations and attempted to spin the issue in an attempt to create political controversy and tensions between powers.
Now, according to recently released Wikileaks documents, it turns out that China was indeed responsible for the attacks on Google’s systems (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101128/tc_afp/usdiplomacymilitaryinternetwikileakschinagoogle).
This raises major concerns where user privacy and data security are concerned and calls into question whether or not any data kept online is safe at all from intrusion or disruption.
