In support of Hong Kong protesters, Anonymous releases data from Chinese government sites

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Dissent

Chris Luo reports:

The Anonymous group of computer hackers yesterday followed up on its threat made on Friday to release data from mainland government websites.

It released hundreds of phone numbers and email addresses of the Ningbo Free Trade Zone in Zhejiang province and a job-search site run by the Changxing county administration, also in the coastal province.

Anonymous took the action shortly after the government denounced the group’s threat of cyberattacks, which were apparently in support of the protesters. The data also included individual IP addresses and names.

It was not immediately clear why the two websites were targeted.
