The Chinese search engine Baidu suddenly became inaccessible last week.
According to users' reporting, in addition to Beijing, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Anhui, Guangdong, Hubei and other areas of the country had similar situations. Reporter contacted Baidu's technology department person, who confirmed the rumor that Baidu was attacked by hackers, and said the problem had been basically resolved, and it would be back to normal in a few hours around all areas.
Last week, Baidu homepage was "Yahoo's error" or the page with Iranian national flag, saying "This site has been attacked by Iran's cyber army ". It is learned that this hacker organization in December 2009 attacked the official website of famous US micro-blog twitter.
Reporter contacted Baidu's technology department person, who said they just had a meeting, but then denied that the meeting was relevant to the attack. The source confirmed the news to reporters that Baidu domain name was hijacked by hackers, but was not sure whether it was attack from Iran hackers.
Domain hijacking means that when users input Baidu domain name, the visit is directed to other servers, rather than that of Baidu, and the server of Baidu is normal at this moment.
