Google's investigation of a cyberattack that rocked the company's infrastructure in mid-December includes a probe of its staff in China, a source familiar with the investigation said on Monday.
The U.S. search giant last week said it had uncovered a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack" coming from China on its infrastructure that resulted in some of its intellectual property being stolen, Google said in a
blog post.
The attack on Google's servers in December targeted the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Google said it had decided to stop censoring search results in China, which could lead to the shutting down of the search engine and operations there.
