In the Google article, Google decided to sue the entire group of Chinese hackers that operated a phishing scam called "Lighthouse." This enabled mass emails and messages to be sent, which affected over one million victims in 121 different countries and around 1 billion in losses. This "Lighthouse" site allowed them to impersonate major companies through accessing the data of the victims. The victims aren't just the individual users but also the major companies that were impersonated.
