Gmail Is Hacked By Chinese Hacker

VIVAnews - Google once again could not circumvent the Chinese hacker attacks. After the tragedy of late 2009, when the hackers from Baidu,China had managed to break into Google's system and steal the codes which are important, now the service provider of electronic mail (e-mail) Gmail became targets.
Wall Street Journal (WSJ) today reported that the email accounts of senior officials from the U.S. and hundreds of other important figures are in danger.
The victims, including state and military officials, bureaucrats Asia, Chinese activists and journalists, according to Google's statement as written in the WSJ. The aim is to spread e-mail attack victim to certain addresses.
Suspicion is directed to the hackers who stay in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, eastern China.
In Washington, the United States, agency investigators FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the U.S. State Department investigate this case. "We do not believe there is an official email account owned by U.S. government officials that is breached," said Caitlin Hayden of the U.S. National Security Council to the WSJ.
Jinan, which is located about 400 kilometers south of Beijing, is the headquarters of the bureaus of technical surveillance of the People's Liberation Army, one of the largest armies in the world.
Previously, Mila Parker, a security researcher in Washington, would have warned the threat of attack. Mila managed to save examples of emails that she was identified through routine observation and she called the attack "man-in-the-mailbox."
The method used by the sender: email accounts of victims and their contacts in it seized and used to convince other potential victims.
She then handed a fake document entitled "Draft US-China Joint Statement" that is spread through e-mail account in the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency and Gmail.
When the user tries to download the document, they will be herded into a fake Gmail homepage that will steal your password.
That incident will certainly further increase the pressure on cyberwar issues. The U.S. government this week will decide those cyber attacks are classified as "war".
Meanwhile, British Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey said, as quoted from the pages of The Guardian, "any activity in cyberspace will slowly form a kind of battlefield of the future."
