The renewal of the license comes after a period of uncertainty and a long standoff with the Chinese government. Google had decided in March not to censor its Chinese site and upload it to Hong Kong google.com.hk.

Some journalists active in China and Taiwan have suffered attacks on their email account Yahoo. The story of Google is repeated? The script has already seen mail accounts that are locked and suffer attacks in China . Only this time the victim is not Google but Yahoo! , and in particular its electronic mail service.

In particular, a reporter said that his service had been reset so that all mail was also sent to another address, unknown to him .

The signal was collected and amplified by the FCCC , the ‘ Association of Foreign Correspondents in China . At present, however, you cannot say with certainty what is the origin of the attacks violated what accounts are still under analysis by experts.

For its part, Yahoo! has not yet given official comments on Ac, merely “to condemn attacks whatever their purpose and their origin” .

Meanwhile, the FCCC has recommended to all Yahoo users to change passwords , and avoid at least temporarily to communicate via e-mail personal and business information .We are facing the prelude to another “Google case”?

When the affect people contacted Yahoo Technicians, one of the four was informed that his Yahoo account was hacked but restored later.

After Google’s investigation, it was noted that about 20 other large companies that included Yahoo, were the cyber attack targets in China.

Kathleen McLaughlin, a freelance journalist in Beijing, one of the affected people in the cyber attack reported to Reuters, that she was unable to access her account since March 25. Her access was restored on Wednesday.

Several other journalists in China and Taiwan were also found with the same problem. They told Reuters that whenever they tried to access, a message always showed up saying- “We’ve detected an issue with your account”.

The compromised accounts include those of the World Uyghur Congress, an exile group that China accuses of inciting separatism by ethnic Uighurs in the frontier region of Xinjiang.

There aren’t any substantial details to prove or state whether the attack on Coonan’s account was just small part of larger conspiracy.

Andrew Jacobs of the New York Times in Beijing said on Wednesday his Yahoo Plus account had been set, without his knowledge, to forward to another, unknown, account.

Earlier, several human rights activists and journalists who work related to China had similarly discovered their Gmail accounts had been set to forward to unfamiliar addresses, without their knowledge.

Google had then cited these Gmail attacks as one of the reasons behind its decision to move its service out of China.

But it is yet to be seen how Yahoo react to this whole issue as Yahoo has a lot of attachment with China considering its ownership of several Internet properties.

“Yahoo! condemns all cyber attacks regardless of origin or purpose,” spokeswoman Dana Lengkeek said in an email response to a Reuters query.
Dana further added that Yahoo was committed to protecting user security and privacy and it would take appropriate action in the event of any kind of breach.
Hao Xiaoming, a China media expert at Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information in Singapore, commented that China’s control of the Internet and media has intensified under the current leadership and reflects a lack of understanding of the Chinese public.

Hao also said that China’s Internet had become a controlled Internet, an internal Internet rather than linked internationally. It defeated the whole purpose.
