Critical IE 0-Day Exploited in Google Attacks from China - A patch is coming, Microsoft promises - Softpedia

The Mountain View-based search giant has reacted extremely strong in the aftermath of Chinese-based hacking attempts directed at its Gmail infrastructure and targeting the email accounts of human rights activists, by announcing that it would no longer censor results in Google.cn and considering even pulling out of China altogether. However, a host of additional U.S. companies were also attacked, including Yahoo, Symantec, Juniper Networks, Northrop Grumman, and Dow Chemical.
