BBC News - Chinese websites 'defaced in Anonymous attack'

The Anonymous hacking group claims to have defaced almost 500 websites in China.

Targets hit in the mass defacement included government sites, its official agencies, trade groups and many others.

A message put on the hacked sites said the attack was carried out to protest against the Chinese government's strict control of its citizens.

It urged Chinese people to join Anonymous and stage their own protests against the regime.

Strangely enough I almost want to like this status. I would say maybe the Chinese people saw a message they aren't usually allowed to see. I wonder if many Chinese even realize there is more to the internet than they know.

Censorship is one of those things you never realize is being taken away from you unless you are the one being censored.
