Chinese Human Rights Orgs Hit By DDoS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-that-matters dept.

Oxford_Comma_Lover writes "IDG News Service is reporting that several human rights organizations focusing on China have been hit by DDoS attacks this weekend, including Chinese Human Rights Defenders and Civil Rights and Livelihood Watch. The latter works on issues of mental persecution (dissidents being thrown into mental hospitals where they were forced onto medication or beaten with electric batons) and eminent-domain type problems (seizure of farmland or urban land without compensation when the government is working on a project)."

    Shame on you, shame! Bad China! Go sit in a corner.

    Oh, you don't want to sit in the corner?

    You're angry we called you bad?

    We're so sorry, we won't say it again. We beg your forgiveness.
