Security experts now say they are getting closer to identifying the author or authors of the malware used to breach Google and other organizations."

Apparently you're too stupid to read the article YOU linked. They are not permitted to allow countries like Syria and Iran to download their apps to comply with US law. Given that they're a US based company, what the fuck do you expect them to do?
You need to work a lot harder than that to prove propaganda.

Not that unknown. If I remember correctly, they present at BlackHat every year and have published several books.

Chinese "Echelon" (Score:4, Informative)
Some states do use secret "Echelon" system to break into private and other states' communication systems. Yes, supposedly and by a self-proclamation these are the "good guys".
Is it a feasible international framework that if one feels himself to be a "good guy" he can eavesdrop on electronic systems? But if he looks like a bad guy, speaks in some exotic ethnic language, then it is a condemnable behavior.
But to Chinese and other Asian people we look like strange exotic humans. There is even a word for European-like people in Asia - "long-noses". And when one lives there it feels exactly this: being a "long nose" among normal people.
So they know that good guys eavesdrop on them with an "Echelon" and keep silence philosophically, but when they try to get some info via eavesdropping a commercial company "Google", it causes a global panic. Or do I get it wrongly?
Maybe it makes sense to lead by an example?

Are you by any chance accessing the site using Windows? Hmm maybe Google did this little thing called a user agent lookup and perhaps to make it easier for their users, they have it automatically hit the site compatible with the accessing OS. You sir are a moron.
