he Yahoo e-mail accounts of foreign journalists based in China and Taiwan have been hacked, according to a Beijing-based press association.Yahoo said it condemned such cyber-attacks.
But the FCCC accused Yahoo of failing to update users about the situation.
Yahoo said in a statement that it was "committed to protecting user security and privacy".
The issue is now resolved, a Google spokesman said in a statement.
Cigarette filters may have traces of pig's blood, an Australian professor has said, adding the devout may find this "very offensive". 
China has said Google's move to stop censoring search results is "totally wrong" and accused it of breaking a promise made when it launched in China.The US giant is redirecting users in mainland China to its unrestricted Hong Kong site, although Chinese firewalls mean results still come back censored.
Beijing said the decision should not affect ties with Washington.
Google threatened to leave the Chinese market completely this year after cyber attacks were traced back to China.
Google's move effectively to shut its mainland Chinese search service, google.cn, is a major blow to China's international image, the BBC's Damian Grammaticas reports from Beijing.
It means one of the world's most prominent corporations is saying it is no longer willing to co-operate in China's censorship of the internet, our correspondent says.
But business analysts say the company is taking a long-term gamble as the Chinese internet search market is growing by 40% a year.
China recently moved to further limit free speech on the web, and Google's own websites and the e-mail accounts of human rights activists have come under cyber attack.
The White House said it was "disappointed" that Google and China had not been able to resolve their differences.
Shannon Tweed Breast Cancer A Big Scare for Gene Simmons Family. Gene Simmons’ long time girlfriend and baby momma Shannon Tweed had a breast cancer scare. There have been rumors circulating, but none indicated whether they were true or not. Tweed and Simmons appeared on an epiode of “The Doctors”, and she indicated that she found a lump in her breast, and that doctors confirmed the lump and removed it. After testing the lump, it was determined that she did not have cancer.
1 in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer during her life. When caught in the earliest stages, the survival outlook is quite high. Simmons and Tweed want women out in the world to understand the importance of breast cancer checkups.
Signs and symptoms of breast cancer include a thickening in the breast tissue, lumps, bloody discharge from the nipple, redness or pitting of the skin above the breast, and inverted nipples.

The heavy-lift AC313 helicopter, built by the state-owned Aviation Industry Corpo
ration of China (Avic), can carry 27 passengers or up to 13.8 tonnes.
It is designed to be used for rescue missions in earthquakes, typhoons and other natural disasters.
It is the latest advance for the country's ambitious aerospace industry.
At last month's Singapore Air Show, Beijing unveiled the Comac C919 aircraft - China's answer to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, which should be available commercially by 2016.
The AC313 has a maximum range of 900km (560 miles), the state-run China Daily reported on its website.
Its test flight - broadcast live on China Central Television on Thursday - was hailed as a "breakthrough in domestic aviation technology", it added.
One in four young Britons attempts to access the Facebook accounts of their friends, a survey claims.The most common route of access was by working out - or "cracking" - each other's passwords.
The poll of 1150 under-19s found that nearly half of those who accessed other accounts did so from either their own computer or one at school.
The main reason given for doing it was for fun, and a further 21% admitted they hoped to cause disruption.
The young people questioned took part in the online survey anonymously.
78% of them said that they knew that hacking was wrong and 82% said they found it difficult to do in practice.
Reuven Harrison, co-founder of Tufin Technologies which commissioned the survey, told the BBC that young people need better education in order to understand when hacking is unacceptable.
"Playing around with computers and trying to understand the system can be leveraged for good and bad purposes," he said.
"There's a fine line at which point it becomes something bad. Children don't always understand where that line is."
20% of those who admitted to hacking in the survey believed they could make money from the activity and 5% described hacking as a career option.
"Hacking into personal online accounts can be child's play if users do not protect their own passwords," said Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Hyde, president of the Society for the Policing of Cyberspace.
"Hacking is illegal and we need to ensure everyone understands that."
Scientists studying wild vervet monkeys in South Africa found that the animals were better able to learn a task when it was demonstrated by a female. The team compared animals' responses to demonstrations of a simple box-opening task, which was demonstrated either by a dominant male or female monkey.
Their findings are described in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Biologist Erica van de Waal, from the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland, and her team, studied six neighbouring groups of wild vervet monkeys in South Africa's Loskop Dam Nature Reserve.
They gave the monkeys boxes containing fruit, which had doors on each differently coloured end.
During an initial demonstration, the researchers blocked one of the doors, so there was only one correct way to solve the box-opening puzzle and access the fruit reward.
For three of the groups, a dominant male monkey was selected as a "model" to demonstrate the task and for the other three a dominant female was chosen.
"The models learned by trial and error how to open the box," explained Ms van de Waal. "Once they understood how to pull or slide the door open we let them perform 25 demonstrations."
After this "demonstration phase", the other monkeys were far more likely to try - and to succeed in - opening the fruit box if their demonstrator was a female.
"We found that bystanders paid significantly more attention to female than male models," said Ms van de Waal.
"[This] seemed to be the only factor influencing this social learning."

China's top internet official has warned that Google will "pay the consequences" if it continues to go against Chinese law.Google announced in January that it would no longer comply with China's internet censorship laws.
It warned that it may shut down google.cn because of censorship and a hacking attack on the portal.
Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Yizhong was speaking at China's annual legislation session.
"We need to preserve our nation's interest, our people's interest, we cannot be relaxed with any information that will cause harm to the stability of our society, to our system, and to the health of our under-age young people," he said.
"So, of course, what needs to be shut down will be shut down, what needs to be blocked will be blocked."
'Up to them'
Google began operations in China in 2006 to widespread criticism. While many argued Google was complicit in the censorship imposed by Chinese government, Google insisted it was nevertheless serving the public interest even though it was furnishing censored results.
Relations between China and Google cooled in January after what Google described as a sophisticated cyber attack in which the webmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists were targeted.
Since then, the firm has been in talks with Chinese officials about how to provide an unfiltered service but still remain within the law. Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said this week that he hoped the results of those consultations would be revealed soon.
Mr Li said that whether the firm quits China or not is "up to them", saying the internet would flourish in China regardless.
"I hope that Google will abide and respect the Chinese government's laws and regulations," he said.
"But, if you betray Chinese laws and regulations... it means that you are unfriendly, irresponsible, and you will have to pay the consequences."
Google is a distant second in search engine stakes in China, holding less than a third of the market; rival Baidu has about 60%.
A new type of urine test shows that eating plenty of garlic may lower levels of a cancer-causing process within the body. This process, called nitrosation, converts some substances found in foods or contaminated water into cancer-causing compounds. Nitrosation is most commonly caused by nitrates from certain processed meats or high-heat food preparation methods, or by water contaminated by industrial or agricultural runoff.
"What we were after was developing a method where we could measure in urine two different compounds, one related to the risk for cancer, and the other, which indicates the extent of consumption of garlic," senior study author Earl Harrison, a professor of human nutrition at Ohio State University and an investigator at the university's cancer center, said in a university news release.
"Our results showed that those were inversely related to one another -- meaning that the more we had the marker for garlic consumption, the less there was of the marker for the risk of cancer," he added.
The study was published in a recent issue of the journal Analytical Biochemistry.
Harrison and colleagues hope to use this urine test to identify nutritional interventions that can halt nitrosation.
"The precise mechanism by which garlic and other compounds affect nitrosation is under extensive investigation, but is not clear at this time," Harrison said. "What this research does suggest, however, is that garlic may play some role in inhibiting formation of these nitrogen-based toxic substances."
