Russia and China's 'attack on Google': Virtual wargame 'experiment' hits search giant with 'worst ever' internet hijack that intercepted search, cloud and business services

Information from users' Google searches, cloud-hosting services and the company's bundle of collaboration tools for businesses - known as G Suite - were all affected.

Data belonging to users across the globe was intercepted by servers in Nigeria, China and Russia - including those run by major state-owned telecoms providers.

Security experts suggested the hack was a 'wargame experiment' - meaning it may prelude similar, more wide-scale attacks from the nations involved in future.

Google is downplaying Monday's incident, saying it does not believe it was malicious, but has failed to allay fears that the personal data of millions of users may have been compromised.

I think this was an attempt to regain spy access on certain people’s accounts.

Article keeps pointing to Russia, but the evidence more likely points to china.

I believe that this was falsified data collection by the C_A. They lost access to their systems which allows them to spy and this was an attempt to regain control.

Also, google trying so hard to say that this was not a malicious attempt makes me believe they were involved.

The whole thing is fishy.
