In order to meet the city.s demand for information security during the
Olympic Games, the first municipal Information Security Emergency
Response and Disposal Centre was set up in Beijing on April 1; and it
will operate 24 hour a day, according to the Beijing Times.

In the history of the Olympic Games there are records of official
websites being attacked. Currently, network attacks against the Olympic
Games have occurred from time to time. Last year alone, 1.79 million IP
addresses were implanted Trojan events - among which 130,000 took place
in Beijing. The Information Security Emergency Response and Disposal
Centre has set up 10 emergency protection groups against viruses,
network attacks, hacking, network incidents; and for emergency
resources. When the city's important information system suffers illegal
attacks and the system fails, the Center will respond and reduce loss
immediately.
