Baidu.tw hacked to show Google?

By thomascrampton ⋅ January 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Not sure what this means, but when I go to baidu.tw, Google’s homepage appears. Has someone hacked the page to support Google in their stance against the Beijing government?

UPDATE: Robin Wauters of Techcrunch did the legwork on this and found that someone Baidu has not been hacked in Taiwan. The site Baidu.tw is NOT owned by Baidu. Someone was just playing a number on Baidu (and me!).
