Lawyers suing China for 2.2 billion US dollars

Lawyers suing China for 2.2 billion US dollars in an Internet-censoring software piracy case said they came under cyberattack this week.

Attorneys at the California law firm of Gipson Hoffman & Pancione said that on Monday they began receiving "Trojan emails" crafted to trick them into opening files booby-trapped with malicious software code.

"Trojan emails are specially constructed to retrieve data from the target's computer and often allow the sender to gain access to the target's computer or to the company's servers," the firm said in a release.

"It has not yet been determined whether any of the attempts were successful."

The law firm last week filed a lawsuit on behalf of Cybersitter accusing China of using the California company's copyrighted software censorship programs being mandated for computers sold in that country.

Hackers paralyze China's top search engine

Today China's largest search engine, Baidu.com, said that it was temporarily shut down after a cyber attack.

Hackers briefly blocked access to China's top search engine by steering traffic to another Web site where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility.

"Services on Baidu's main website http://www.baidu.com were interrupted today due to external manipulation of its DNS (domain name server) in the U.S. Baidu has been resolving this issue and the majority of services have been restored," Baidu spokesman Victor Tseng said in a statement.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular news briefing Tuesday that China "opposes all cyber crimes, including hacking."

There was no evidence the hackers are actually linked to Iran.

Baidu, pronounced "by-doo," holds a market value of about $13 billion and dominates China's Internet search like Google dominates the market in just about every other major country in the world. The research firm Analysys International pegs Baidu's share at about 62 percent of China's internet search market compared to 29 percent for Google.

Google’s contribution to International politics

We all knows the Google contribution in Technology and Internet world. Google among the top players in Information Technology arena and the number one player in Internet world but do you know Google is now giving Contribution to International Politics too.

“They see him here, they seem him there, the French seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven, is he in hell, the elsusive scarlett pimpernel.”

Recently you must hear about one of the state of India (Arunachal Pradesh)who become the eye of International politics and give a lot of Chit-Chat to new and old evaluators of Politics. Google gave an unforgettable contribution in the Chit –Chat and become the part of International Politics.

Google Maps site for users in China (http://ditu.google.cn), Arunachal Pradesh appears as part of China.

Google Maps site for users in India (http://maps.google.co.in), Arunachal appears in the way India sees it – as an integral part of India.

Google Maps for users in other parts of the world, the site (http://maps.google.com) shows Arunachal Pradesh as a “disputed region”, like Kashmir.

Arunachal Pradesh has been and will always be a part of India. Google clearly likes to keep everyone happy. But since they say this does not impact their depiction of international borders, would they also clarify which version they’re talking about?? Since they have so many!

Google should come clean about their policy on national boundaries. Currently they issue apologies in India, while still displaying maps with defective boundaries elsewhere. A good explanation would be better than this insincere apology.
