All this Started in 2010 when the Chinese hackers started Breaching Google servers with name "Operation Aurora". the Hackers got access to sensitive database which had load of information about American surveillance Targets.
This so called Attack resulted in theft of the Google's Search engines Source Code and many other Human rights Activists Emails. Although Google made this attack Public in 2010 itself, which made FBI to Indulge in order to investigate who are the people behind this breach. But Later Google came to know this wasn't the only things the hackers stole, but they also got information about many Surveillance Targets, which included Emails of Spies, Diplomats and Terrorists which the Law Enforcement were Monitoring.
The hackers Were after the Chinese Operatives who were blacklisted and Spied by the American Law Enforcement Even the MICROSOFT was not Spared. last month one of the senior Microsoft official said, the same hackers have targeted their system and they were in search of the same information, they were looking for accounts tagged by surveillance of Law Enforcement.
