The attacks were allegedly aimed at filtering e-mails from Chinese human rights advocates and stealing trade secrets from American companies. However, there is a possibility that the attacks were launched from outside the schools but used IP addresses from the computers inside the campuses.
The allegation is the latest to involve Google and China, which have been at odds over censoring issues. China restricts the information allowed to enter its online domains, a move that Google opposes.
