The IMF, as a precautionary measure, cut off the funds link with the website.



Confirming the attack the world financial institution has said it was being investigated. The IMF got the news of the attack through an email which warned that during the attack some files were transferred. The probe also revealed hacker had the access to IMF desktop, to enter the system.



Security officials say the aim of the attack was to maintain digital presence through installing software. This attack continued for months
 
lol im waiting for this too


Google's accusations were pretty weak this time round. Last time they got hack by the Chinese government and the government went for a deep mainframe attack that came away with terabytes of files, this time, Google's reported spear phishing attacks, dropped a million hints that it was the Chinese government and without release the code for investigation.


I mean why would the Chinese government having the ability to do deep attacks into google, choose to use spear phishing attacks you usually see with those Nigerian bank transfer scams.

Google is political no doubt about it.
