China Hackers Call Off Attacks on U.S. Sites
From Times Wire Reports
A self-styled alliance of Chinese computer hackers has called a halt to attacks on U.S. Web sites, after claiming to have broken into more than 1,000 sites.
The group, which calls itself the “Hongke Union,” thanked hackers but said it would not be connected to any further attacks.
Chinese hackers declared a weeklong war on U.S. sites, from April 30 to last Monday, after a U.S. Navy spy plane collided with a Chinese fighter jet, setting off a diplomatic standoff. The fighter pilot was killed in the April 1 collision.
