i.e. (rumors) Google know who was attacked because it was done out of their own office
- roc 17y agoI was wondering if the real problem wasn't that Google discovered the attack vectors were essentially government-mandated holes. That is, the required local hires, the mandatory native firm partner, etc, It could be that the rules don't allow enough control over those resources to achieve acceptable risk. If that's the case, it makes perfect sense that Google would issue a public threat to close the office. Nothing else would carry as much weight and if the current terms are untenable, there's essentially no risk.
