Google seems to be lurching from one problem into another-China affair,this, and Microsoft’s approach to Apple default browser.
Story:
The hack and subsequent press clips explaining the threat turn out to be a great marketing opportunity for McAfee ( MFE – news – people ), which is now prominently displaying an “Operation Aurora” graphic on its homepage and posting hyperlinks to a trial version of its antivirus software. It’s also good news for other technology companies, some of which–perhaps through schadenfreude–have benefitted from the damage the hack has done on the reputation of Microsoft’s ( MSFT – news – people ) popular Internet Explorer franchise. Microsoft has issued a security advisory and says it plans to release an emergency software patch on Thursday.
