There continue to be more details on the attacks on Google in China, this time are more specific and relate to the safety of all users of Google services. Here is a brief account of the facts:

• Chinese Hackers attempt an attack on Google.
• Noticing this, the Mountain View company ceases to censor their search results.
• Start the bickering. The Chinese government warned Google to comply with its rules and if he leaves.
• Representing U.S. interests outside the White House position on the facts.
• The Chinese government denies any connection with the attacks.
• It is found that the Asian nation's government is lying. They start out the first names.
• As highlighted, the Beijing government promises to punish those responsible.
• The tension grows and Google takes a defiant stance predicting his departure from the Chinese market.

It has been much criticism of Google for defending their interests in such a way, but to learn more about the role of attack, we note that no wonder. Now comes to light that the real objective of the hackers was not simply attacking dissent, the jackpot was violating the Google login system called Gaia and serves as identification for many sites such as GMail.The problem is that there are Google services for which people pay, which means that billing information (credit cards, bank accounts) could be exposed and used in ways harmful to users. The sensitive data here is that the attack was possible to obtain the source code for Gaia with which the security of our data is in doubt.

Although until now nothing has happened relevant to this situation, we should not be so trusting. Google does not officially pronounce, so it is speculated that there is already a backup plan to ensure the protection of user data. In any way change the password regularly is not a bad idea, whether or not hackers.
