These recent attacks raised the question if Google will survive in China or not. Now after Microsoft has found the problem they are trying to rectify it as soon as possible to prevent such kind of incidents.

what is specific hole and attack? and is that can cause some like DoS attack?
A hole is a kind of software bug or a weak code in software which the attackers can break. It can also be a malware which the attackers send on the emails which are used for password theft..
Just one more reason why IE should go away.
