Google senior vice president and Alphabet board member Diane Greene revealed the figures while speaking at a Fortune magazine tech conference in Aspen, Colorado, reports Reuters.

Though Greene reported notification of 4,000 state-sponsored cyberattacks each month, she did not elaborate on whether any of those attacks involved U.S. government spying.
