Nation's cyberspace 'vulnerability' exposed by attack

China's massive Internet infrastructure is extremely vulnerable to overseas cyberattacks, experts warned on Thursday after a server malfunction redirected a large number of requests to wrong pages for days.

The country has seen an increasing number of attacks targeting key Internet infrastructure, government bodies and influential industrial organizations, according to a report.

This was released on Thursday by the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team Coordination Center, a nongovernmental agency that monitors China's Internet safety.
