The Black Hawk Safety Net offered lessons on cyber attacks and sold Trojan software, which allows outside access to a computer when remotely installed, media reports said. (CNN) The police arrested three people who ran this malicious website that charged roughly 14-29 US dollars or 100-200 Yuans per hacking lesson. Well, cheap lessons equals more people dragged in to this and then this equal to one huge computer problem. Established in 2005, the site had recruited more than 12,000 paid and 170,000 free members and collected more than 7 million yuan ($1.02 million) in membership fees, the reports said. (CNN) In China, hackers have cause about 7.6 billion yuans or 1.02 billion US dollars in losses last year iin the country. In January, Google threatened to pull out of China due to hacking of the system. The Chinese government has said that the Google case is a business dispute and should not affect relations between Beijing and Washington.Last month, foreign correspondents in at least two Chinese bureaus of news organizations had their Google e-mail accounts attacked, with e-mails forwarded to a mysterious address, according to the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China. (CNN) Wuhan happens to be home to the Communication Command Academy, which trains hackers, according to U.S. congressional testimony by cyber expert James Mulvenon in 2008.The popularity of hacking in China, and hackers' use of multiple addresses and servers, in Taiwan and elsewhere, makes it hard to prove how or by whom they are coordinated.Would-be hackers in China do not have to look far to figure out how to do it, thanks to a healthy hacking industry and sites such as Black Hawk Safety Net (www.3800hk.com), which was unavailable on Monday. (Reuters) Sources- CNN News- [] Reuters- [] Similar- The articles agree that there is 12000 members in this hacking site. They also agree on what was the website which was used for Hackers-in-training. Wuhan is the training academy place stated in both articles. Difference- The Reuters article doesn't tell of the losses China has suffered due to hackers. Reuters also doesn't say of the Google incident in which Google could pull out of China due to Hackers. Reuters article doesn't tell of how much these online lessons are worth. Opinion- Hello, people, pay attention, look, these hackers are being trained secretly and behind our backs without us knowing at all. The hackers will cause internet failures and other online breakdowns which could cost millions of dollars. We, as people must stop these hacking hackers from destroying one of our best resources, the computer and the internet.
