Google e-mail accounts compromised by 'Chinese hackers'

Hackers in China have compromised personal e-mail accounts of hundreds of top US officials, military personnel and journalists, Google has said.
The fact that the victims were people with access to sensitive, even secret information, raises the possibility that this was cyber espionage, not cyber crime, our correspondent says.
A few days ago, the US said that it will consider hacking attempts as an act of war which it would answer with military actions. However, for some reason I doubt that they will consider an attack against China. One of those reasons is China's finanical power; and let's also not forget that they own nukes too. So all this was just hot air? Probably not if you happen to be a poor third world country with no serious military power.
