Chinese search engine Baidu hacked by Iranian Cyber Army

Baidu ( http://www.baidu.com ) is suddenly unavailable, with sources all over China confirming this.

It seems that the website has had its DNS hacked by the “Iranian cyber Army”, the same guys that hacked Twitter a few weeks ago. The process is reportedly called DNS cache poisoning and can happen “through improper software design, misconfiguration of name servers, and maliciously designed scenarios exploiting the traditionally open architecture of the DNS system.”
