This was more than likely a message to the rest of the Red Hacker Alliance that we do not hack inside China or there will be consequences. According to the video, it wasn’t just money that Heikeba was after but fame played a large part as well. The downfall seems to have come when they decided to break into banks inside of China and steal from Chinese citizens. That my friends is a no-no!

Also, it is not nice to attach Trojans to music and picture downloads.

This is the part I’m not completely clear on and if someone who has better ears than I do can provide clarification it would be really appreciated. The police discovered that the site was spread out across 15 cities inside of China. Here is the difficult part, they found records on the site dealing with New York, London and Paris and something about logging into the sites at the same time which seemed impossible or only slightly possible. There is some discussion of time-zones and logging into them at the same time.

Difficult to tell if they are saying Heikeba was responsible for hacking into
websites in these cities. Hopefully, we can get a little help here.

The Patriot’s Security Website (3800hk.com) was originally established in 2003 as the Black Hawk’s Red Hacker Base (3800cc.com). Its founder, Li Qiang (李强), a.k.a Rice (大米), has turned the station into a Chinese hacker training industry that markets numerous lines of hacker training CDs, DVDs, online courses and manuals.

The profile above only lists Li as a lecturer and the station master is given as Stef:

However, in this interview with sina.com, Li Qiang is clearly identified as the true founder
of the organization:

According to 3800hk.com’s description, the company headquarters has 21 personnel, 9 temporary workers and 17 technicians:

Furthermore, the company has invested around US $83,000 dollars in hardware and equipment. It has 10 servers spread out in locations such as Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, Henan, Beijing and Shanghai.

中国顶级黑客名单
Just added a new section to the website called “Top Chinese Hackers” in the upper right-hand corner. It will be an ongoing project and could take a bit of time to complete since I have a lot of info on different individuals. I’ll add a short post each time it is updated so you don’t have to constantly check.
