News Summary: Google on 'state-sponsored attacks'

By The Associated Press
NEW FEATURE: Google is warning users whose accounts it believes are targets of "state-sponsored attacks."
CHINA EYED: Google did not cite a specific government. But it did close its search engine in China in 2010 after saying it no longer wanted to cooperate with Beijing's Internet censorship following hacking attacks traced to China.
FEW DETAILS: Google says it cannot say how it knows activity is state-sponsored without giving information that would help attackers. But an executive wrote in a blog post that detailed analysis and victim reports "strongly suggest the involvement of states or groups that are state-sponsored."
