CHINA'S Internet security watchdog said yesterday that a growing number of Chinese public institutions and companies have been threatened by cyber attacks from other countries or regions.
The news portal China.com.cn, people.com.cn and Tibet.cn have all been victims of attack from foreign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in the past two months, according to a report issued by the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team Coordination Center.
A total of 85 websites of public institutions and companies were hacked from September 2012 to February, including government agencies, a provincial examination authority, a property insurance company and a virus research facility in central China, the report said.
It noted that attacks on 39 of those websites were recorded from IPs in the United States. From November 2012 to January, the China National Vulnerability Database also recorded 5,792 hacking attempts from US IP addresses.
