Hackers Might Get Attacked

- -----------------------------------------
Taiwanese hackers are being warned that a popular software program that
enables them to break codes and invade other computers might leave their
own machines open for attack by intelligence agencies on the mainland.
Users of the Chinese software program "Netspy" were warned in the National
Taiwan University BBS "Hacker-or-Cracker" chat room that the program
leaves a user's computer open to attack through port 7301.
The warnings were made by a hacker who calls himself Joco. He claimed his
machine was under attack through port 7301 but a firewall managed to halt
the would-be intruders. The attacker's IP address belonged to a block
registered to a Chinese mainland intelligence organization in Hunan
Province, claimed the hacker.
Espionage has been a topic that has received much attention in Taiwan in
the last few weeks. The scientist at the center of espionage investigations in
the United States is Taiwan-born Lee Ho-wen.
