Google is using automated warnings to alert users of its GMAIL messaging service about wide spread attempts to access personal mail accounts from Internet addresses in China. The warnings may indicate wholesale spying by the Chinese government a year after the Google Aurora attacks or simply random attacks. Victims include one leading privacy activist in the UK who has spoken out against censorship of its citizens. The company has been issuing similar warnings since March when it introduced features to identify suspicious account activity. Users were then encouraged to change their password immediately.
