Does Google Have an Enemy Within?

Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) is reportedly looking into the possibility that one or more staff members at its office in China helped enable the attack on its infrastructure in mid-December.

After the attack was discovered, some Google China employees were denied access to internal networks, while others were put on leave, and still others were sent off to offices elsewhere in the Internet search giant's Asia-Pacific operations, according to a Reuters report.

Google did not return requests for comment by press time.
