Chinese hacker Wan Tao
In April of 2000, Wan Tao joined sina.com’s Naval and Merchant Ships Forum with the online name of China Eagle in response to a posting by a person named Bailing who called for the establishment of a China Eagle club. Between the 19th and 21st of May, he made postings about the delay tactics used by advocates of Taiwanese independence and organized the “Anti-Taiwanese Movement of China Eagle Union.” In September, he participated in China’s first network security hobbyist conference at the Dragon Spring Hotel in Beijing and gave a speech called “Building Hacker Culture with Chinese Characteristics,” that was said to have defined the goals and direction of the Chinese hacker culture. The Chinawill web site was redesigned in October of 2000, and the members of the China Eagle Union finally had “a home online.” In December, Wan Tao attended the “Network Era Patriotism Discussion” held in Nanjing.
China Eagle even composed a theme song for their organization titled Power of the Night.
黑夜的力量

词:中国鹰派栗子
Lyrics: By China Eagle Union’s LiZi
我们在黑夜里逆风飞行我们是黑夜里的中国之鹰我们用黑夜里黑色的眼睛迎接光明的来临我们在网络里自由飞行我们是网络里的中国之鹰我们用网络里寂寞的 黑夜迎接黎明的来临感受黑夜的力量用我黑色的眼睛热血在黑夜里慢慢凝聚希望在黑夜中寻觅我们是中国的鹰派我们要做中国的精英不管敌人的盾牌是多么的坚硬我 们要让他知道我们的锐利我们是中国的鹰派我们要做民族的精英所有正义的人们给了我们力量和勇气我们会永远战斗不息
“We are flying against the wind in the night. We are the China Eagles of the night. We use our black night eyes to greet the approaching light. We are flying freely through the net. We are the China Eagles of the net. We use the lonely nighttime of the net to greet the approaching daybreak. Feel the power of the night. Use my black eyes. The hot-blood slowly thickens in the night. Searching for hope in the middle of the night. We are the China Eagles. We want to be the elite of China. It doesn’t matter how hard the enemy’s shield is, we want him to know our sharpness. We are the China Eagles. We want to be the elite of the nation. All the just people have given us strength and courage. We can fight forever and never rest.”
China Eagle forced the shudown of the “Water Lilly Association,” a web site for Taiwanese independence, after placing a defacement showing Taiwanese Vice President Lu’s head pasted on a Play Boy.
In 2001, almost 1,000 websites in the US were defaced and two US government websites were under a denial-of-service attack, among other cyber attacks. The leader of the China Eagle Union hacker group admits to coordinating the 120-plus hackers in their siege between from April 28 to May 8. After several months of research, iDEFENSE Intelligence Operations offers this profile of the China Eagle Union with details on its leader, its members and a possible connection to a senior Chinese government official. This iALERT White Paper includes several photographs and details on what is probably China’s premier hacking group (Click here to download the 887K .pdf white page).
