   Wow, scary. Its good no real harm came of this, but the fact that there was an organized attack is always fairly surprising. I wish the Chinese government had the control over cyber crime originating from their nation that they seem to be pressing on Google and media outlets.

   When I first started reading this news bit, I was having no sympathy for these 70+ individuals, since this exploit was well publicized, and should have been patched weeks ago.It was actually nice to hear that none of the emails got through. That's encouraging.

   The Chinese government keeps a tight lid on any information they have that makes them look bad. So something like this, they wouldn't publicize like they did with Google or other media outlets. They will deal with it internally and nobody outside of that circle will hear a peep out of it. But luckily none of the intended targets was attacked, so I guess there is some good news in this article.
