Google-Gmail Hacked by Chinese Hacker

Gmail Hacked, E-mail accounts of senior officials from the U.S. and hundreds of other important figures in jeopardy.

Google once again could not circumvent the Chinese hacking attacks. After the tragedy of late 2009, when the hackers from the country of Baidu had managed to break into Google's system and steal the important codes, now the Gmail became targets.

Wall Street Journal (WSJ) website today reported that the email accounts of U.S. senior officials and hundreds of other important figures in jeopardy.

Google's logo-Google's office in China.

The victims, including state and military officials, Asia bureaucrats, Chinese activists and journalists, deceived give their Gmail account password to cyber criminals based in China, according to Google's statement as written in the WSJ. The aim is to spread e-mail attack victim to certain addresses.
The purpose of the attack is to spread the victim's e-mail to certain addresses.

Suspicion is directed to the hackers who lives in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, eastern China.

In Washington, United States, FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the U.S. State Department are working together to investigate this case. "We do not believe there is an official email account owned by U.S. government officials hacked," said Caitlin Hayden, the U.S. National Security Council to the WSJ.

Jinan, which is located about 400 kilometers south of Beijing, is the headquarters of the bureaus of technical surveillance of the People's Liberation Army, one of the largest armies in the world.

Previously, Mila Parker, a security researcher in Washington, has warned to Google about the threat of attack. Mila managed to save examples of emails that she was identified through routine observation and she called it the "man-in-the-mailbox" attack.

The method used by the sender: victim's email accounts and their contacts seized and used to convince other potential victims.

That incident will certainly further increase the pressure on cyberwar issues. The U.S. government this week will decide that cyber attacks are classified as "war".

Meanwhile, British Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey said, as quoted from the pages of The Guardian, "all activities in the virtual world will slowly shape the future battlefield."

US Foreign Affairs Minister, Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the government to investigate China's cyber attack against Google and other companies. Clinton said the Internet technology plays an important role in international relations and anyone who was involved in cyber attacks have faced criticism over the world. As reported earlier the search engine giant, Google has threatened to halt its operations in China. Google claims no longer able to withstand hackers attacks in the Panda's country.

Top Ten Android Apps-NyTimes

Top Ten Android Apps-NyTimes Version-Honorable Mention
FlightTrack ($5; track any flight and get delay forecasts, seat suggestions and gate information); Yelp (free; find local services, restaurants and bars, including reviews); Glympse (free; open the app, hit a couple of buttons and Glympse lets a friend temporarily track your location); Angry Birds (free; not as slick as the iPhone version); Epicurious (free; find professionally tested recipes, with reviews and shopping lists — the free BigOven app is also very good); Layar (free; see customized information about your surroundings); Qik (free; broadcast live video from your phone to a Web site) ; Weather Channel (free; offers better forecasts than your phone’s standard weather app); DroidLight (free; it’s a flashlight, a strobe light or a message board in a crowded club — indispensable).

Android users have it even worse. Although there are fewer apps to peruse (around 100,000 at last count), the Android Market is a nightmare to navigate compared with the iTunes App Store.

Yes, even though Google is the master of search, its Android Market’s search feature is less effective than Apple’s. The Market also has no answer for the Android App Store’s “Staff Favorites,” “Essentials” or “New and Noteworthy” selections, which pull good apps to the front of the catalog.

But that’s why I’m here. Android users, I hereby present 10 indispensable apps and then some. (This list and other lists of favorite apps can be found at http://nyti.ms/fKliAm.)

Some apps on my list are unique to Android, even though app developers still seem to develop for iPhone first. Oh, and the best part about the list? Almost all the apps are free.



Let’s start with Google, which created the Android operating system. The company may do a poor job with the Market, but it creates — and, more to the point, it gives away — stellar software for Android devices.

Google Search (free) is a huge time saver, thanks to the voice-search function. (Ask it for Wikipedia entries and it fetches. Speak the name of a retailer and it finds the nearest location.) And Google Maps (also free) is a big money saver, since it provides the same turn-by-turn navigation features you would have to pay $10 a month for on other phone platforms.

But since those apps come standard on every Android device I’ve ever seen, let’s skip those and get to the ones you’d have to seek out in the Android Market.

GOOGLE SHOPPER (FREE ANDROID APPS) As mentioned in last week’s column, this app can save you hundreds of dollars by helping you find better prices nearby or online. Scan a bar code and the app takes it from there. If the scan doesn’t work, you can speak the product’s name and the app finds the product.

GOOGLE SKY MAP (FREE ANDROID APPS) Some serious eye candy that you’ll want to activate on the next cloudless night. Point your device toward the heavens and Sky Map puts a label on every celestial body you see — and some you can’t.

REMOTEDROID (FREE ANDROID APPS) Turns your phone into a wireless trackpad and mouse. You might not want to use the tiny keypad to input text, but if your computer lacks a trackpad — or if you’d like to liberate your trackpad from its spot — this will make your day.

CARDIOTRAINER (FREE ANDROID APPS) Arguably better than any fitness app on the iPhone, CardioTrainer is an Android-only program that tracks your fitness regimen and calorie consumption. It includes a music management feature to keep your workout tunes fresh.

SOUNDHOUND (FREE AND $5) It’s Android’s best showoff app after Sky Map. Open SoundHound and it identifies nearly any song — even some you hum. It also finds lyrics and YouTube videos of song performances. The $5 version lets you identify an unlimited number of tunes. Users of the free version get five songs a month.

EVERNOTE (FREE ANDROID APPS) Can’t afford a personal assistant? This will help. Evernote is a mobile notepad that synchronizes with desktop and browser software (also free). Use your smartphone to take a photo, record a voice memo or jot down a note, and the next time you open Evernote on your desktop computer, your mobile notes appear (and vice versa). The free version stores a fair amount of information, but $45 a year buys unlimited storage.

URBANSPOON (FREE ANDROID APPS) Great for those with empty stomachs, full wallets and no ideas. Spin Urbanspoon’s slot machine and it offers restaurant suggestions. You can also choose certain attributes — like moderate prices and bistro food — and selections appear. The app includes reviews, contact information, maps and directions.

QUICKOFFICE MOBILE SUITE ($10) You can read Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents on an Android phone, but you can’t edit them without dedicated apps. Quickoffice is, so far, the best of these apps. It lets you create documents in a pinch, but the app’s strength is letting you get bits of work done away from the office.

SLACKER (FREE ANDROID APPS) You’ve most likely heard of Pandora, the great personalized radio service. Slacker is better, with a deeper catalog of songs. And unlike the Web version, you can download hours of music to your phone and listen when you are offline. (That feature is free to try, but a $4 monthly fee applies thereafter.)

FXCAMERA (FREE ANDROID APPS) Android doesn’t have anything quite like Hipstamatic, the iPhone app that creates beautiful effects for your photos. FxCamera is close, with several cool filters to choose from, and quick sharing to Facebook.
