Google hacking case investigators of have accused Shanghai Jiaotong University and Lanxiang Vocational School of involvement in the hack. Web attacks on Google and dozens of other American companies last year have traced the intrusions to computers at Jiaotong as well as Lanxiang vocational school in eastern China.
Shanghai Jiaotong University is one of China’s top universities and had transformed China into a science and technology powerhouse. The university has alliances with elite American Institutes like Duke and the University of Michigan. It is tremendously rich in science and engineering talent. For that reason only Microsoft and Intel have moved into a research park directly neighboring to the school.
Apart from that one of Jiaotong’s strongest departments is computer science. It has garnered support from some of America’s largest technology companies. Cisco Systems and Microsoft have collaborated with Jiaotong on a laboratory for intelligent computing and intelligent systems at the university.
Mean while, the two schools have strongly denied the accusation and said it was rather shocking for them. The result of investigation might end up with anything but the University has gone global after the Google debacle.
