China Journalist Group Hit With Cyberattack

An international journalists association in Beijing said Friday that its Web site was the target of cyberattacks, the latest in a string of incidents that have affected foreign journalists in China.

The Foreign Correspondents Club of China said in a statement that it disabled its Web site temporarily to deal with the problem after it experienced persistent attacks over two days involving a flood of traffic that overwhelmed its servers. Such attacks, while making a site inaccessible to regular visitors, are different from those that seek to gain unauthorized access to a Web site’s administration.
