China’s largest hacker training website


The Black Hawk Safety Net, said to be China’s largest hacker training website,
The site “taught hacking techniques and provided malicious software downloads for its 12,000 members in exchange for a fee, says the Wuhan Evening News newspaper,
Hacking from China is on the front burner, Google said it was pulling out of the country following hack attacks.
“The website was shut in late November and three of its members arrested on suspicion of criminal activity
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.

World's Fastest Supercomputer

Chinese researchers have built the world's fastest supercomputer, which is almost 50 percent more powerful than its predecessor.
The Tianhe-1A, based at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in China, can perform over 2.5 thousand trillion floating point operations per second (petaflops).
Professor Jack Dongarra, who is a member of the Top500 supercomputer ranking project, told ZDNet UK that he had been present when NUDT tested the Tianhe-1A supercomputer at the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin.
