As far as I see it Google is not using IE6 their client/user is. And therefore this is a MS problem.
As far as I read it the client's IE6 is hacked directly and/or via a phishing attacks. This then allows the hacker into Gmail accounts after the client has access it (as now the client PC is now open to the hacker.)
From http://blogs.zdnet.com/perlow/?p=11891&tag=wrapper;col1
"For starters, IE 6 should be blacklisted from being used as a web browser on any of the Google sites. It should be persona non grata, verboten. This policy should be adopted like, um, yesterday."
Of course when Google users in China realize that their accounts are being hacked, then Google's Gmail is toast in China. Just what the Chinese Government want?
