The cache of more than 250,000 EE.UU.. Department of State cables that WikiLeaks began releasing on Sunday includes a document linking China’s Politburo to the December 2009 hack of Google’s computer systems.
Los EE.UU.. Embassy in Beijing was told by an unidentified Chinese contact that China’s Politburo “directed the intrusion into Google’s computer systems,” the New York Times reported Sunday, citing a single leaked State Department cable.
“The Google hacking was part of a coordinated campaign of computer sabotage carried out by government operatives, private security experts and Internet outlaws recruited by the Chinese government. They have broken into American government computers and those of Western allies, the Dalai Lama and American businesses since 2002, cables said,” the Times reported.
The cable is another piece of evidence, albeit thinly sourced, linking China to the Google attack. Wikileaks is gradually releasing this latest set of cables, and the document in question was not available on WikiLeaks’ Web site at press time. The Times, along with a handful of other newspapers, was given early access to the documents.

Una de las principales preocupaciones para las empresas estadounidenses que hacen negocios en el extranjero es la Ley de Prácticas Corruptas Extranjeras (FCPA), un 1977 ley federal que prohíbe el soborno de funcionarios extranjeros. Quienes están familiarizados con esta regulación sabe que tiene muchas dificultades, e incluso las empresas más cuidadosos pueden ir en contra de la ley debido a las acciones de sus empleados.
FCPA aplicación no es nueva, pero en los últimos años, la mala conducta corporativa, se presta una mayor atención y mayor aplicación, que es lo que los ejecutivos nervioso. Violaciónes puede significar sanciones civiles y penales para las empresas y sus ejecutivos, y los costos monetarios puede ser enorme. Más allá del precio de defenderse de una investigación del gobierno, una empresa con violaciónes FCPA pagará multas e incurrir en los costos actuales para la rehabilitación y seguimiento de las actividades.
No es una exageración para sugerir que el gobierno federal pudo haber aumentado su vigilancia en la parte delantera el soborno corporativo últimamente debido a la posibilidad de traer miles de millones de dólares a través de la aplicación FCPA. O tal vez el gobierno de Obama es más interesado en asegurar una buena, limpia las operaciones de negocios por U.S. empresas. De cualquier manera, Danny Breuer, asistente del fiscal general de la División Criminal del Departamento de Justicia, ha declarado públicamente que la aplicación FCPA es una prioridad.

But on Tuesday afternoon, an Oakland, California, federal jury awarded Oracle Corp. $1.3 millones de dólares, significantly more than SAP’s lawyers had argued the company should be made to pay. Click here for the early report from the WSJ; here and here for earlier LB posts on the conflict.
The ubiquitous David Boies, representing Oracle, on Monday argued that SAP owed Oracle company between $288 million and $3 millones de dólares, while Robert Mittelstaedt, an attorney representing SAP, said the company should pay between $28 million and $41 millón.
The verdict came in the fourth week of a trial to determine how much SAP should pay Oracle for copyright infringement by a discontinued business unit called TomorrowNow, the culmination of lawsuit Oracle first brought in March 2007.
