Google says they may start giving uncensored search for the people in china as they  released the information about a “highly sophisticated and targeted attack” on their corporate infrastructure that occurred last month. The attack originated in China and resulted in the “theft of intellectual property from Google.” In light of the attack Google is making sweeping changes to its Chinese operations.

Tehccrunch Reported,

“The company (Google) says that a minimal amount of user information was compromised, but has come to the alarming conclusion that the attacks were targeting the information of Chinese human rights activists. Google found that these attacks were not just going after Google’s data, but were also targeting at least twenty other major companies spanning sectors including Internet, finance, chemicals, and more. Google has also discovered that phishing attacks have been used to compromise the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists around the world.”

China Government is continuously attempting to deploy further restrictions for free speech on the web. Till now google offered a censored (and highly controversial) version of its search engine at Google.cn as January 2006, Google has made concessions to the Chinese government. Now google is going to stop it. Google has decided it will deploy a fully uncensored version of its search engine in China. If Chinese government decide that an uncensored engine is illegal, then Google may cease operations in China entirely.
