China's Baidu Website Defaced By Twitter Hackers

Hackers calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army briefly hijacked the home page of China's top search engine, Baidu Inc, on Tuesday weeks after doing the same thing to Twitter.com.

Media carried screenshots of Baidu's home page showing a message: "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army" against a dark background and the flag of Iran. The group hacked popular microblogging website Twitter in December replacing Twitter's home page with the same headline and an anti-American message.
