EMAIL BREACH: Google says computer hackers in China broke into the personal Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including top U.S. government officials that the company didn't identify.


SECURE FOR NOW: After thwarting the attacks, Google secured the affected Gmail accounts and notified the victims. A security researcher who helped alert Google to the scam said the intrusions went undetected for at least a year.
FAMILIAR RING: This is the second time in 17 months that Google has identified China as the originof an attempt to hijack information stored on its computers. Google Inc. believes the incidents are unrelated.
