American crackers have defaced a Web site recently launched by China to provide the official view on the country’s human rights record.

The site is run by the Chinese Society for Human Rights, a group that represents China in its dialog with other countries on the rights issue. The page usually contains links to government documents and articles from the state-run media.

However, on Monday night, angry crackers replaced the official page with a political message of their own.

“I simply can not believe the total bullshit propaganda on this Web site,” wrote one cracker, who goes by the name “Bronc Buster.”

BEIJING, Oct 22 (Reuters) – China arrested its first suspected cyber-bank robbers last week after two brothers allegedly hacked into a bank network system and stole 260,000 yuan ($31,000) in the eastern province of Jiangsu, the Beijing Youth Daily said.

The elder brother, Hao Jinglong, was an accountant at the Zhenjiang Industrial and Commercial Bank, where he had mastered the entire computer network.

The two brothers allegedly broke into the ceiling of a rural branch of the bank in September and planted a remote control in the computer terminal which created false accounts, the newspaper said.

BEIJING (October 12, 1998 08:44 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) – As China becomes ever-more wired, computer police must raise Internet security standards to catch the growing numbers of cyber-criminals, the People’s Daily said on Monday.

China has detected more than 100 cases of computer crimes in the past two years, the most serious case involving the theft of $1.2 million, China’s ruling party mouthpiece said.

Internet surveillance in China was hampered by an inefficient computer police force, out-dated computer protection equipment imported in the 1980s and the slow development of computer protection products, the newspaper said.
