Chinese hackers 'bomb' Japan -- on the Net
Official website admits to hacker attacks on Japan as Chinese officials refuse to curb the "patriotic" actions
BEIJING -- An extreme right-wing Chinese group has declared cyber war on Japanese websites in a bid to force "Japan's mad dogs" to face up to war-time atrocities committed in China.
The self-styled Chinese Extreme Right-Wing Anti-Japanese Alliance, in a message on its website www.bsptt.gx.cn/public/ badboy/hack/, claimed to have attacked around 30 Japanese sites between Jan 24 and Feb 13.
Launching a new "anti-Japanese war", the organisation said it had targeted a series of websites belonging to ministries, the Prime Minister, parliament and the state planning agency.
Japanese officials said last month that a host of government websites had been plastered with anti-Japanese graffiti.
The hacker website is a sub-domain of a government telecom website in the southern province of Guangxi, and officials told AFP that police had no intention of clamping down on the site because it was "patriotic".
The website called on hackers to download "Internet atomic bomb China boy" software and launch anti-Japanese hacking attacks.
The group said: "We welcome more anti-Japanese sites to join the attack and explode an atom bomb on the Japanese Internet.
"The main principle of the alliance is to make continued cyberspace attacks on a small number of Japanese mad dogs."
"The main attack goals will be the websites of the little Japanese government and companies," added the site.
The claim of responsibility came after Japanese officials last month said that hackers broke into a government Internet site and left a message blasting Tokyo's failure to recognise its war-time past.
The website is a sub-domain of the official Telecommunications Bureau in the town of Baise in Guangxi.
Mr Chen Zhengchao, an official at the Baise Telecommunications Bureau, said that local authorities would take no action against the site.
He said: "The police in charge of the security of the Internet know all about this. The content of the site is patriotic and as long as it does not publish pornography or reactionary material, we have no reason to intervene." -- AFP
