Chinese web site hit by hacker
A computer hacker has inflicted China's first serious attack on
a domestic website, in a development that is expected to fuel the
debate on internet security and regulation. Chen Yongjian, chief
executive of IT163.com, a large e-commerce website that sells goods
from 50 of China's top stores, said his website had been inoperable
since Thursday morning. "It is just like the recent hack attack that
shut down Amazon.com and the other US sites. He bombarded the site
with so many messages, the system could not cope," said Mr Chen.

Curador Taunts Police Over Site Break-Ins
Curador, the cracker who has stolen credit cards from at least eight
small e-commerce sites and then posted them online, is growing more
brazen by the minute. In an interview with InternetNews Wednesday,
Curador claimed he has hit five new Web firms and will soon publish
hundreds more stolen credit card numbers at a new site, which he said
he registered using one of the stolen cards. "Law enforcement couldn't
hack their way out of a wet paper bag. They're people who get paid to
do nothing. They never actually catch anybody," said Curador.
