China's Cyberwars
China’s military is under attack. At least its Web site is…from hackers.
In a sign that China’s Ministry of National Defense faces the same kind of Internet security challenges that militaries around the world have reported, its new Web site was attacked more than 2.3 million times within a month of its August launch. The state-run People’s Daily newspaper reported that revelation Wednesday in an interview with the editor-in-chief of the Chinese defense department’s site, Ji Guilin.
In the report, Ji said it battled down a variety of hackers and no harm was done to China’s national security. He said the site has boosted its network security.
He didn’t say where the hacker attacks originated.
