Straits Times: Hackers hit website of firm trying to control Internet use

From the Straits Times, via Asia Media:

Chinese hackers have defaced the website of a police-run security company leading a new effort to strengthen government control over the Internet.

The attack against the website of Beijing General Security Service came amid its drive to recruit a corps of 4,000 ‘Internet security guards’ to monitor the online activities of people in Beijing.

‘A security company that cannot even protect its own website can hardly talk about security,’ the hackers wrote in a notice that appeared on the site’s news section last week.
