Microsoft's browser flaw exposed Google to hackers

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Microsoft says a security flaw in its Internet Explorer browser played a role in the recent computer attacks against Google and at least 20 other companies.

In a Thursday alert confirming the weakness, Microsoft said the security hole can be closed by setting browser's Internet security zone to "high." The world's largest software maker may also issue an update to fix the problem.

Microsoft pinpointed the trouble spot after Google announced earlier this week that hackers in China had pried into the e-mail accounts of human rights activists opposing the Chinese government's policies.

The attack outraged Google. It plans to leave China unless the government backs off rules requiring Google's Chinese search engine to censor some results.


微软CEO称谷歌自己有问题
据金融时报报道，美国当地时间1月12日15时，谷歌高级副总裁及首席法律顾问大卫·多姆德在谷歌官方博客上发文表示，谷歌集团考虑关闭“谷歌中国”网站以及中国办事处。

谷歌称其安全系统未能阻止针对其主要基础设施的攻击。这些攻击已导致公司一些自主知识产权以及两个Gmail帐户信息失窃。

谷歌安全工程师阿尔玛·惠顿表示，对谷歌系统的黑客攻击“针对性很强”，瞄准了公司本身以及一些公司用户的个人电脑。她还表示，谷歌已经跟踪到了攻击的源头，来自中国。

微软首席执行官史蒂夫·鲍尔默形容此事件为“谷歌的问题”。他称，“每一家大型机构都不断遭到黑客入侵。我认为这并不意味着互联网安全环境发生了根本改变。”
