CHINESE e-commerce giant Alibaba Group announced yesterday that one of its Websites was hacked on Friday and Saturday and police were investigating.
Servers of Alibaba??s foreign wholesale marketplace, Aliexpress, in Hangzhou and the United States were hacked constantly on Friday and Saturday, said Wu Hao, head of public relations at Alibaba Group.
The Website, still in the testing phase, hosted the sale of Chinese goods in bulk to American buyers, said Wu.
"Our clients' information was not disclosed or stolen. But some users could not access our Website at some point," according to Wu.
The company did not say where the attacks originated, but Wu said they believed the hackers might come from overseas trade protectionist groups or Alibaba's rivals.
Wu said Aliexpress, in tests since August 6, would officially start operations, although no timetable was set.
