It looks like the Chinese government has problems with hackers from behind the Great Firewall. It's actually astounding that this hasn't been a larger and more public before now, especially considering the quality and quantity of hackers that keep coming out of China.
From Dark Visitor:
You would think, with the recent earthquake in Sichuan and the ongoing Olympics, that government websites dealing with emergency management would be inspected rather thoroughly. Not so much. Google spiders crawling the internet, show that the website has been hacked since at least 31 July 08.
Is it unusual for a Chinese hacker to attack their own government’s website? The first-generation of Chinese hackers had very strict rules about not hacking inside China but the current crop doesn’t seem to adhere to the same code. Doing a pull on Zone-h.com.cn, gives 1,952 known Chinese government websites that have been hacked. A fairly large number of those attacks appear to be carried out by Chinese hackers.
