Chinese spies enjoyed months of access to the personal Google emails of senior US officials and human rights activists, according to a US computer security expert.The web giant sparked a renewed cyberspace espionage row after it published details of the attack and said it had traced the source to Jinan, in Shandong Province.
It did not directly accuse the Chinese government but appeared to hint strongly at its involvement, prompting angry denials from Beijing.
"Blaming these misdeeds on China is unacceptable," a foreign ministry spokesman said.
"Hacking is an international problem and China is also a victim. The claims of so-called support for hacking are completely unfounded and have ulterior motives."
The first details of the attack emerged in February on the blog of Mila Parkour, a pseudonymous computer security expert who found a "spear phishing" email on the systems of one of her clients.
