CHINA HIJACKS INTERNET TRAFFIC

China Telecom Corp., the nation’s biggest fixed-line phone carrier, denied it hijacked Internet traffic (by exploiting Border Gateway Protocol routing tables), after a U.S. government report said the company wrongly diverted international Web data. China Telecom sent erroneous Internet-traffic instructions that briefly diverted about 15 percent of global Web traffic through servers in China, the U.S.- China Economic and Security Review Commission said in a report yesterday. The incident, which lasted about 18 minutes on April 8, affected U.S. military and government sites, as well as sites run by companies including Yahoo! Inc. and Microsoft Corp., the report said.
