Misc. I'm not among those hacking groups.

It's been called 69 Crusade (June 9 Sacred War) ever since it was planned. A wide range of Chinese netizens have been profoundly angered by frenzy teen girls who are crazily after Korean pop culture(think Twilight, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, whichever teen star you don't like-Yeah a similar feeling), including moron hackers.

There's news of stampede during Shanghai Expo on May 30 when around ten thousand fanatics of the Korean group Super Junior and singer BOA gathered to pick up some free tickets. According to their inside source on Tieba Baidu(think reddit slash , or facebook groups) there were five thousand free tickets. This was never confirmed and very soon the Expo Korean Pavilion had no more to deliver and a riot just happened.

here is a media coverage There are far more startling photos shared on renren.com(think Facebook). on shanghaiist, an editorial

Most netizens think of it as a disgrace, including the moron group on Tieba WOW(yeah there is a place for WOW, which has merely a hundred and eighty thousand registered users, making it the biggest Tieba of Baidu. There's a culture surrounding it. But more on that later)

Because of the nationwide University Entrance Exam(think June SATs) would be held from June 6-8 the Crusade was planned on June 9. WOWers invited hackers who had once helped Baidu to hack back in Jan when it was hacked by an reportedly Iranian hacking group.(think google)

The story is kinda long and there's no valid translation available yet. And I'm too lazy to act as the lousy translator here. The news should be up soon. I want redditors' view on the organized illegal Hacking, which even spread to a neighbouring country. Reportedly(btw here 'reportedly' means reported by some non-governmental, authority not the state media), three thousand South Korean-based servers were hacked. Not even over night. Before dawn almost. There's far more damage than I can articulate, some I have nevi heard of. Here's an official quote from a hacking group which was posted before the fan site was hacked

本盟受WOW吧的同志委托，黑掉sj的韩国官网以及所谓音源官网
本盟与贵吧并无过节，但贵吧网友声称“有本事就去黑掉官网”
本盟对此技术性的挑战无理由不做个回应，6月9日后请拭目以待

I don't really know anything about how music sites work in Korea but apparently they are said to determine a singer's popularity. So that site had to be hacked. The official Korean Super Junior site was also hacked.

Basically the quote acted like a declaration. Because some fanatics challenged the hackers, claiming "only if they had the guts to hack the official sites". The hackers felt obliged to prove their technical proficiency (understandable right?) so they did.

It was startling how many were involved in the incident. Some other mainstream, more decent(less moron-like) Chinese websites also joined the crusade, which was itself phenomenal(remember I said a culture around WOW Tieba, not subculture?) I'm personally thrilled to witness such things. However, I don't feel I'm ethically correct, not this time.

*******Edit: there's a paragraph missing in the original post. More on the stampede:

To those who were not on the scene it was quite mysterious as if it just happened spontaneously. It was most likely true that when a police officer blocked a girl's way to run into the site, the desperate teen took off her tshirt and with only her bra yelled "Rape" to the police officer in order to get in.
They reportedly left a mess behind(face-losing or as they say), many severely injured. Many sources say a girl was killed on the scene; she was seen fallen down(there were so many ppl she was just pushed to the verge? Unimaginable) as thousands of people were busy getting in, thus causing the panic. Most netizens think of it as a disgrace, including the moron group on Tieba WOW(yeah there is a place for WOW, which has merely a hundred and eighty thousand registered users, making it the biggest

****** a link to Google news search hack super junior Well well well at least it is happening. The state media will be very slow...as usual
