Update: We received the following statement from Google - "This is not a hack but rather a bug affecting the language displayed to some users, and we are working to fix it soon." Forbes has some additional details.
Google's corporate bios suddenly switched to Chinese this morning, the Guardian reports. It only affected users connecting from some areas, and the change was live only for a short amount of time, but the screenshots prove that Google may have indeed been hacked - again.
The pages affected were http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html. which lists Google's top executives, as well as http://www.google.com/corporate/, which contains general corporate info about Google. Both pages were in Chinese and directing users to Google China.
The incident comes hot on the heels of Google's decision to stop censoring Google China search results, directing users in mainland China to its uncensored, Hong Kong search site.
The pages seem to have been restored back to normal now. We've contacted Google for comment, but haven't received a response yet.
