Gender problems for women hackers

Xiaotian

Always imagined that Chinese hackers were young male nerds, spending days, weeks, months in smokey rooms hitting out to their poor victims? Well, that might be basically correct, but my favorite Dark Visitor tells that women do their best to change that cliche image.

As far as I am aware, the first group of female Chinese hackers to break this mold were the Six Golden Flowers. The Golden Flowers have since broken up and gone their separate ways, but a new and larger group has taken their place, the Cn (China) Girl Security Team.

The website for the China Girl Security Team was registered on 12 Mar 2007 and currently has 2,217 members. The leader of the group Xiao Tian, is only 19 years old.

Always good to put a face to things.
