Microsoft Admits Google Got Hacked Because of a Glitch in Internet Explorer
This is a tad ironic but Google is fuming mad because Chinese hackers attacked their email system by exploiting an Internet Explorer flaw. Internet Explorer 8 users should be bothered a little.

Google is already loudly threatening to pull out completely from China if the Chinese government doesn’t back off from requiring Google’s Chinese search engine to censor results that are critical of Chinese government policies. This debacle is getting worldwide attention since Google is showing some teeth against the powerful Chinese communist government. The company is not bluffing; it will bow out of the Chinese online market if the Chinese government won’t relent.

Regardless of how you view it, the Hayden Kho Trojan is a real threat everybody must be aware of.
