We all are very much aware of Chinese hackers and their capabilities. All most in every where they have taken their control. We can also say that hackers from China is the most dangerous cyber threat in front of the world. But this time their cyber space get compromised by an unknown attacker. Also the hacker has stolen personal information of 46 Million user of china including their names, email ID, password etc. According to reports, the Chinese Software Developer Network (CSDN) was breached in the incident and its user database has been made available for public download. The database reportedly contains the emails and passwords of all its 46 million registered users. The Chinese Software Developer Network happens to be the most popular website in the country for programmers.
Mr. Wang, Co-founder, Chinalabs.com said
"I think this is a payback for the 'real name registration' system. A similar thing happened in South Korea when hackers leaked account passwords—when real name registration was imposed. Korea ended up scrapping those plans. So I think China may be facing a similar problem. With this real name registration, if authorities cannot guarantee the protection of the data, then the system can’t be implemented."
For now, websites are asking affected users to change their passwords. But analysts like the former president for Yahoo China, Xie Wen, said that won't solve the problem because China’s cyber security is low.
