China cracks down on hacking website

Last Updated: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 04:46:00 +1100

China has closed what it claims to be the largest hacker training website in the country and arrested three of its members.

Local police told state media the "Black Hawk Safety Net" website taught hacking techniques and provided malicious software downloads for its 12,000 members.

Hacking from China has received international attention since Google threatened to quit China last month after a serious hacking attempt originating from China.

The government denied involvement in the episode.
