The two Chinese schools have denied reports that they were involved with January’s cyber attack on Google and other firms said all allegations are "unfounded," according to state media. The New York Times said investigators had tracked the online attack to two mainland schools – Shanghai Jiatong University and Lanxiang Vocational School. "We were shocked and indignant to hear these baseless allegations which may harm the university’s reputation," a spokesperson from Shanghai Jiaotong University said, adding that the educational facility will fully cooperate with investigators should Google seek "judicial remedies." Lanxiang Vocational School, the second institute suspected of being involved in the Google hacking case, denied that it had any relationship with the military and that its computer science class covers "basic courses about Photoshop, 3D drawing and Word – not software engineering."
