The website of China's Ministry of Defense ( www.mod.gov.cn/) was attacked by hackers more than 2.3 million times within the first month of its launch, according to website director Ji Guilin, www.people.com.cn reported.
Total traffic of the first three months reached 1.25 billion, Ji said, with Beijing, Guangdong and Jiangsu making up 40 percent of the total volume.
The US, Australia, Singapore and Japan visit the Chinese version of the website the most, while the US, Australia and Britain top the English version views. It usually takes three seconds to open a web page, five seconds from abroad, according to the report.
"The traffic of the first day reached 70 million and the next day climbed to 130 million. The first month saw hackers attack 2.3 million times, especially the first week. Once there is an event, the attacks increased. But none of the attacks worked," said Ji.
