Pro-democracy Hong Kong sites DDoS'd with Chinese cyber-toolkit
Found on The Register on Monday, 03 November 2014
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.
