A 20-year-old has been under investigation for hacking into more than 60 websites including the Chinese government and local media, China Business News reported on Friday.

During the past two months, the man was finally caught hacking by the monitoring agency in a trace of two months.

He was bold enough to leave messages such as, “this society cannot even catch a small thief” and “don’t talk about me carelessly” on the hacked sites.

Earlier this month, he disguised himself as a resident of Xi’an, capital of Shaanzi Province, by writing, “make sure to apply the laws fairly. I feel ashamed as a Xi’an citizen,” after attacking the main website of the city.

Eight major IT experts and victims of these hackings found a common user id and were able to use it to track down the IP address.

The hacker was soon identified as a second year student at an unnamed university, living in the southwestern province of Sichuan.

“Since I enjoyed playing computer games, I thought it would be also fun to hack into websites,” the student said. “Normally, I would stop hacking into a website that was impossible to do so but I didn’t know it was this easy to attack all these government websites.”

“If a 20-year-old amateur can hack into government websites, they are in need of improvement,” said the local media.



中정부 및 언론사 해킹한 ‘간 큰’ 20세 해커

중국 정부기관 및 언론사 사이트 60여 곳을 해킹한 20세 해커가 체포돼 조사를 받고 있다고 화상보(華商報)가 22일 보도했다.

보도에 따르면 한국나이로 올해 20세인 이 청년은 지난 2개월간 중국 내 주요 정부기관 및 언론사 사이트를 해킹해오다 추적에 나선 감시기관에 적발됐다.

이 청년은 자신이 해킹한 사이트에 “작은 소년도둑하나 잡지 못하는 사회”, “나에 대해서 함부로 말하지 말라” 등의 메시지를 남기는 등 대담한 모습을 보여왔다.

이달 초, 산시성 시안시의 홈페이지를 공격한 후에는 “공정하게 법을 적용하라. 시안 시민으로서 부끄러움을 느낀다.”는 메시지로 자신을 시안시민이라고 위장하기도 했다.

이에 시안시를 중심으로 해킹 피해를 본 8개 시 대표 IT전문가들은 각 시에서 발생한 해킹사건에서 ‘소음협’(小淫侠)이라는 공통된 이름을 발견했고, IP를 추적해 검거하는데 성공했다.

쓰촨성에 거주중인 것으로 밝혀진 이 해커의 나이는 20세이며, 모 전문대 2학년 생으로 알려졌다.

그는 “평소에 컴퓨터게임을 즐기다가 해킹이 재밌을 것 같아 시작했다.”면서 “해킹이 불가능한 곳은 곧장 포기하고 다른 사이트로 옮겼는데, 해킹이 가능한 정부사이트가 이렇게 많을 줄 몰랐다.”고 말했다.

현지 언론은 “20세 밖에 되지 않은 IT 비전문가에게도 당할 만큼 허술한 정부사이트의 개선이 필요하다.”며 목소리를 높였다.
