China Closes Hacker Training Site w/ 180K Users
China has shut down a training site for computer hackers and arrested three people in connection with the site.
Chinese media reports today say that the country has shut down Black Hawk Safety Net, a website that gave lessons in hacking and sold downloads of malicious software.
According to China Daily, Black Hawk Safety Net had recruited more than 12,000 premium or paid members, collecting more than 7 million yuan ($1m or £650,000) in membership fees. The site had also garnered 170,000 users registered for unpaid, free membership. Users were provided with cyber attack lessons and Trojan software; however, it is unclear if the 170,000 members with free accounts received the same lessons and software as paid members.
Additional reports say China has arrested three people in connection with the website.

or for getting adventurous hacking the Chinese gov't intelligence network?
Chinese Govt: Ne' er ma shore chun yee tsi ma er da fooking sher Hackers. Ne sha er tsa moo shi fooking Agent merdai con shoo.
Hillary: Tsa! Tsa! Ner yer yer American fy mer mer?
Translation:
Hillary: We the United States want you to hand over your hackers or are they eating at "Fooking Resatuarant"?
Chinese: We already arested our hackers. Our Agents are the ones eating at "Fooking Restaurant".
Hillary: Great! Great!....you old granpa chinese love american boobs?
What, of course not. It would be dumb.
I agree
Ultimately it won't matter if the site is down anyhow as these 170,000 potential hackers are still 170,000 potential hackers less one web site to gain info from. If these people went as far as to seek instruction on hacking, a website being shut down will NOT stop them.
At the end of the day all 170,000 are now looking for resources elsewhere.
Like Russia.
