China Mobile's website was attacked by hacker on the morning of September 11.

Instead of the usual rants that hackers place on their cracked websites, this time the company's homepage simply displayed a request from the hacker who asked for lowering the calling rates. The website resumed to normal at 8:36am, but the website of China Mobile's affiliate M-zone did not recover until 11am.

In response to the attack, some users posted online expressions of admiration for the hacker's humor, while others said they were concerned about the safety of China Mobile's network now that it was vulnerable to crackers and hackers.
