Title: Did Bitcoin fans hack China's central bank? Post by: David Rabahy on December 20, 2013, 06:22:23 PM http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/19/news/china-bitcoin-hack/index.html?iid=H_BN_News
It just doesn't add up for me. Why risk incurring negative backlash? Besides which, shouldn't China's central bank have been prepared to handle DoS attack long before this?

It's practically the Bitcoin logo in journalism... probably pretty confusing to the uninitiated when they go on to invariably say Bitcoins only exist online. :D
This could've been done by anyone, nobody claimed responsibility, and a soft ban on bitcoins is hardly the Chinese government's most extreme act of oppression. MSM outlets would do well to stop pushing speculation and instead try rebuilding credibility with actual news. |
