I'm Surprised That Your Kung Fu Is So Expert

Posted on 9:02 AM by Unknown
This story is so awesome.

Hacks of Chinese Temple Were Online Kung Fu, Abbot Says

A hacker who posted a fake message on the Web site of China's famous Shaolin Temple repenting for its commercial activities was just making a mean joke, the temple's abbot was cited as saying by Chinese state media Monday.

That and previous attacks on the Web site were spoofs making fun of the temple, Buddhism and the abbot himself, Shi Yongxin was cited as telling the People's Daily.

"We all know Shaolin Temple has kung fu," Shi was quoted as saying. "Now there is kung fu on the Internet too, we were hacked three times in a row."


Why am I not surprised that a Shaolin monk has a better grasp of the fundamentals of computer security than some people in IT?

Bonus: Props to anyone who recognizes the title of this post.
