Chinese Hackers Poised for 'Anti CNN' Attack on April 19 - UPDATE [2]
Carl Jongsma writes on Computerworld.com.au:
Chinese hackers appear to be readying for an attack on the West scheduled for April 19. It appears the basis of the attack is based on the recent, and very public, pro Tibet coverage in Western media organizations.More here.
A Chinese site called Anti-CNN is setting out to counteract what it claims are the lies and distortion present in Western news coverage of stories concerning China and Chinese national interests. It is calling for street protests in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom on the 19th of April (Beijing local time).
UPDATE: 18 April 2008, 17:24 PDT: Apparently the DDoS attack on CNN.com has been canceled because too may people are now aware of it.
UPDATE [2]: 18 April 2008, 19:10: Okay, maybe CNN.com was DDoS'd anyway. -ferg
