Meanwhile..."The hackers of Taiwan and China are bombarding each other's Web sites.
...hackers (later confirmed to be from mainland China) started to attack many of Taiwan's government Web sites last week, changing the content of the home pages to political slogans and warning signs to the "separationists."
...Enraged by the attacks, hackers in Taiwan ignited an organized counterattack on China's government Web sites, and many of them succeeded.
The Taiwanese hackers not only wrought similar changes to the Chinese Web pages but also added many "liberal" Web elements to their hacking works, such as music (pop songs and the national anthem), cute animations and even apolitical comments citing popular culture.
One hack on a Chinese Web page read, "It's too hard to get a 'Hello Kitty' doll, so doing some hacking here may be a good way to kill the time." (The McDonald's restaurants in Taiwan are selling "Hello Kitty" dolls with the meals, and it has been an enormous hit; many stand in line for hours just for the dolls.)"
