Poor SportsNetwork, a privately owned
Hatboro, PA sports site. Chinese hackers
brought the site down possibly thinking it
was owned by CNN, which is targeted for
attacks.
The poor folks at SportsNetwork
have the following posted after a denial
of service drive by attack:
The Sports Network website and other
major news sites have been hacked by
a political entity from China, and as a
result are temporarily unavailable. We
apologize for any inconvenience and hope
to be back up and running as soon as
possible. Thank you for your patience
and understanding.

Christine Lu has the image of the defaced
Sports Network site, which was covered
with a Tibet vs. China rant. TechCrunch=92s
Michael Arrington noted that Twitter
boasting indicates that the hackers may
have thought they were bringing down
CNN=92s sports channel. In reality, the
hackers wiped out an innocent bystander.
