Hackers Training Website Shut Down in China

China’s hacking problems were thrown into the spotlight recently, after a hacker attack made on Chinese Gmail accounts resulted in the theft of intellectual property. It was also made worse when search engine giant Google, threatened to stop its operations in China.

But according to a recent report at topnews.us, China wanted to prove to the rest of the world that it is completely against hacking, by shutting down an online hackers training website, which is reportedly known as the Black Hawk Safety Net, quite recently.

Reports say that the operations of the website in question have been officially shut down, and three of the website’s leaders have now been placed under arrest. The site was said to have been the biggest of its kind, and a pioneer in training Chinese hackers.

The Black Hawk Safety Net have now been accused of collecting more than $1 million in tuition fees, from a total of around 12,000 regular subscribers and another 17,000 members, who took the website’s online courses.
