DNS Problem Brings Great Firewall of China Global
Security experts around the globe are currently trying to unravel a mysterious networking error that saw Web traffic to sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube rerouted to Chinese servers.
CNet reports that on Wednesday, a Chilean DNS admin sent out an email to his counterparts in the rest of the world asking them about a strange problem a local ISP had noticed. The ISP said one of the main DNS root servers, called the I Root Server and operated in Sweden, was directing visitors endeavoring to access up to 30 different sites, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to servers in China. Because people were being redirected to China, they ended up behind the Great Firewall of China.
It's no secret that China has changed DNS routing information to redirect users of censored services to government-run servers instead of sites such as Facebook and Twitter, however, ComputerWorld reports that this is the first public disclosure that those route have leaked outside of China. Citing Danny McPherson, a chief security officer with Arbor Networks, CW reports that the rerouting was probably an accident. McPherson says the ISP that used the bad routes probably misconfigured its BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) system.
"I don't think it was done intentionally," he told ComputerWorld. "This is an example of how easy it is for this information to be contaminated or corrupted or leaked out beyond the boundaries of what it was supposed to be."

Oh the horror when the Chinese people will be free to surf youtube and watch videos of Lolcatz! Chinese stability will be doomed!!!
what? lol
This doesn't surprise me really...
I think your right, they were probably hacked too.

BTW, did you guys understand the article? Outside ISPs misrouted their traffic to China, not the other way around. When you log on to your ISP in the US, you don’t automatically end up in China. Your ISP has to route your connection to China first.
Has Google really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Say what?
I'm trying, really hard to translate this.
I think he/she means.
Has google gone so far as to even want to look like they are doing more?
But with then Google does even else China where if let's fighting love.
This is what you get when you text too much and then try to write a real sentence.
