| In China's Hubei province arrested three men on suspicion of owning and managing the site Black Hawk Safety Net (3800hk.com). BHSN - a huge site provides visitors with free and paid lessons, training sessions on hacking sites and writing viruses, allows downloading of malicious software and much more. In addition to the three arrests, was also carried out the confiscation of nine servers, up to five computers and one car. On the eve told China Daily and the Wuhan Evening News. Hacking - a topic for Chinese patients, especially recently, when Google has accused the Chinese government that, under their authority have been made attempts to break Google's servers (the Government, of course, denies such a fact). Black Hawk Safety Net has been very popular. At least 12 thousand users have paid accounts that will allow the site to collect more than 7 million yuan (about one million dollars). In addition, about 170 thousand users had a "free" accounts. The Government of Hubei Province are no comments yet to no avail. Site Black Hawk Safety Net is now available, but users and close to stuff people in other forums say that back-ups kept the site and have not been confiscated, so that at least the owners are "paid" accounts have nothing to lose. Representative of the BBC's Damian Grammaticas Beijing claims that the connection between this case and the attacks on Google (search engine as well as a statement about a possible departure from China), no no. At least at the moment it is not detected. But who knows, maybe this is a government attempt to prove China's Google, that they care and they fiercely compete with the hackers. | |
