Hackers Hijack Satellite TV in Southern China

An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:

Hackers allegedly hijacked satellite TV signals in southern China to broadcast anti-government messages, news reports said Thursday.

Viewers complained that their TV screens went blank for nearly two hours or showed anti-government messages for 30 to 40 seconds Tuesday evening, the Shanghai-based Xinmin Evening News said in a report on the Web site Sohu.com.

The report didn't describe the content of the messages that aired in Guangdong province.
