Hacking attacks against organisations promoting democracy in Hong Kong were run using the same infrastructure previously linked to Chinese cyber-espionage attacks, according to new research from security firm FireEye.

It almost goes without saying but the hkgolden,com, nextmedia.com, and appledaily.com.hk websites are blocked by the Great Firewall of China – indicating that authorities in Beijing have found the content hosted on these sites objectionable.

As long as the media continues to cover this, the chinese dictators will have a harder time.
