While a lot of the news around the hacking of Google by China one of the more interesting pieces of this story is that Google hacked back.
Google’s secret counteroffensive managed to gain access to a computer in Taiwan that it suspected of being the source of the attacks. Peering inside that machine, Google engineers actually saw evidence of the aftermath of the attacks, not only at Google, but also at at least 33 other companies, including Adobe Systems, Northrop Grumman and Juniper Networks, according to a government consultant who has spoken with the investigators.
This is what happens when one super power attacks another.
