【新唐人2014年06月18日讯】香港“和平占领中环（Occupy Central with Love and Peace）”争取普选运动，将于20号到22号正式开放给市民进行电子投票。但是，上个星期五开放的类比预先电子投票登记系统，在运作了30小时后就遭到了极罕见的骇客攻击，而导致全系统瘫痪。网络安全专家形容这次攻击规模之大、时间之长是香港史上首见。不过，受“和平占中”委托的“香港大学民意研究计划（Public Opinion Programme）”除了强烈谴责骇客事件外，也开始着手研究力抗假普选的其他方案。
“香港大学民意研究计划”16号发表声明说，自6月13号启动“6.22民间全民投票”流动应用程式电子投票系统后，系统运作30小时并成功接受了超过二万市民预先登记。不过，投票系统后来遭到了骇客攻击，三家网络供应商先后“投降”，无法为用户提供服务。模拟投票系统在过去两天已经无法正常运作。
“香港互联网协会网络安全及隐私小组”召集人杨和生表示，这次骇客用分散式阻断服务攻击（DDoS）的方式，分别以每秒75gb、10gb攻击其中两个网络供应商，规模“夸张得惊人”。他解释说，全香港互联网使用高峰期的每秒流量，也只是400gb至500gb。这说明，这次攻击已占用了全香港约两成的互联网频宽。
除此之外，骇客同时还狂轰为这次提供服务的域名解析服务器（DNS），使DNS在20小时内有超过100亿次的系统查询。
据“华尔基利资讯安全研究组织”电脑保安研究员赖灼东估计，要做到如此大规模攻击，背后的“丧尸网络”最少有5000部电脑，甚至过万部或更多。
旅美中国社会问题研究人士张健认为，中共利用骇客的手法越来越娴熟、越来越明目张胆、和无所顾忌，也越来越多的动用国家资源进行有目地攻击。
旅美中国社会问题研究人士张健：“过去对一些欧美国家政府机关窃取机密，到今年6.4瘫痪6.4全球网路会议，一直到香港的本次大型活动，用这种极卑劣的骇客组织去破坏，足以证明其实在中共统治下，他最害怕的就是民声，他最害怕的人民反对极权。”
张健指出，中共怎么搞破坏也无法阻挡历史，而这种人神共愤的做法，会激起越来越多的追求民主人士，和以前围观人士，加入反对他们的行列。
香港知名评论人士林保华表示，“看看中共对付小小香港的‘超限战’，岂止台湾要吸取教训，日本、美国也必须警觉，关系恶化，首打网络战。”
“港大民研计划”总监钟庭耀形容﹕这次骇客攻击是“科技暴力”。而“社会在谴责肢体暴力的时候，应该同时谴责语言暴力、政治暴力、科技暴力”。他还认为，“如果连鼓励和平理性方式解决制度纷争都无法办好，香港的前途将会非常暗淡”。
香港“公民党”主席余若薇表示，任何国家如果认为自己是强国的话，就应该对人民宽大﹔越对人民压迫，越是一个胆怯的政权。
同时，香港“工党”主席李卓人、和香港“工会联合会”副会长黄国健都认为，骇客攻击会激起更多的市民投票。
香港捍卫法轮功大联盟创始人熊立：“现在当前最关键的是两件大事，一是6.22投票，一是7.1大游行。这两件事情是中共千方百计的利用各种手段、各种管道、各种方法，都要把这两个活动把他打下去，把人数降低。”
香港“捍卫法轮功大联盟”的创始人熊立认为，“6.22全民投票”是影响香港今后民主发展进程的大局的事情，所以中共非常恐惧，不择手段的搞破坏。
目前，“港大民研计划”已着手准备应付骇客攻击的备选方案，如果电子投票系统无法修复，他们会采用自己管理的125条投票线路，为市民提供平板电脑供人投票，甚至延长投票日数和时间等措施。
熊立甚至认为，“港大民研计划”应向美国《大纪元》新闻集团求助，因为《大纪元》已经顶住了中共的多次骇客攻击。

Hong Kong Vote Site Hacked
Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP) website
initiated an online vote on Hong Kong’s chief executive
system, open to the public from June 20 to 22.
However, a pre-registration system for voters was
hacked last Friday 30 hours after its opening.
It caused the entire system to shut down.
Internet experts say that the scale and the length of the attacks
are unprecedented in Hong Kong history.
Apart from condemning the hackers, the Public Opinion
Programme (POP) that was entrusted by OCLP
started researching other methods of anti-fraud voting.
On June 16, POP issued a statement saying that popvote.hk
launched on June 13, received pre-registration from over
20,000 citizens.within 20 hours.
Later, the system came under attack, three ISPs
couldn’t provide service for the customer,
so the pre-registration system couldn’t operate as normal
over the last two days.
Young Wo-sang, Convener of Hong Kong Internet Security
and Privacy Working Group, says that hackers used a DDoS
(distributed denial-of-service) to attack a targeted system.
They attacked 75Gb to 10Gb per second to
two of the ISPs, the scale of the attacks are shocking.
Young explained that in Hong Kong the peak time of
internet usage flow is only 400gb to 500gb per second.
Thus this time they attacked about 20% of the entire
bandwidth in Hong Kong.
In addition, they attacked DNS (Domain Name
System) server, as a result, there were more than 10 billion
DNS IP requests within 20 hours.
Lai Cheuk-tung, researcher of VXRL speculates that
to achieve such large scale attacks,
at least 5,000 to 10,000 hacker computers had to be involved.
Zhang Jian, US-based China affairs expert says that
the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) hackers become
more skillful and brazen without scruple.
They use more and more national resources
attacking purposely.
Zhang Jian: “In the past, the CCP stole confidential
documents from European and American governments.
This year from June 4 global online conference to this present
incident in Hong Kong, the CCP has used despicable hacker
groups to cause damage.
This indicates that the CCP’s greatest fear is people’s voices
and people standing up against them.”
Zhang Jian says that no matter how much damage CCP caused,
it cannot stop history.
The CCP’s practice provokes everyone’s indignation,
and will trigger more people and bystanders who long for
democracy to join the anti-CCP group.
Lin Baohua, Hong Kong’s famous commentator says that
“From the lesson of how the CCP treats Hong Kong
with ‘extreme war’, not only Taiwan needs to learn the lesson,
but Japan and the US also must be on the alert.
If their relations with China become worse,
the CCP’s first attack would be via the internet.”
Robert Chung, director of Public Opinion Programme,
University of Hong Kong (UHK POP) said
“this attack was violence of science and technology.
While society is condemning physical violence,
violent language, and political violence,
so science and technology violence should also be condemned.”
Robert Chung stated that Hong Kong’s future would be
very dark if resolving the conflict in a peaceful and rational
way couldn’t be well promoted.
Audrey EU Yuet-mee, Chairman of the Civic Party says that
if any country thinks itself powerful,
then it should be generous to its people.
If there is more suppression of its people,
this country must be a weak one.
Lee Cheuk-yan, Chairman of the Labor Party and
Wong Kwok-kin, vice president of Hong Kong Federation
of Trade Unions said that the attacks would trigger
even more citizens to take part in the vote.
Xiong Li, founder, Hong Kong Alliance to Defend Falun Gong:
“Now there are two major issues,
one is the election vote on June 22,
the other the big parade on July 1.
The CCP tries all its means to suppress the two major events,
or to reduce the number of participants.”
Xiong Li says that June 22 vote will influence the process
of Hong Kong’s future democracy.
Thus the CCP is very scared, trying all means to destroy it.
The UHK POP is making alternative plans for the vote
after the hacker attack.
If the e-vote system cannot be fixed, they will use the route
under their management, providing ipads for citizens to vote.
They also can extend days, time and other methods for voting.
Xiong Li suggests that UHK POP should seek assistance of
US-based Epoch Times Group, because the Epoch Times
has fixed hacks several times.
