A U.S. judge has approved the lawsuit filed by Chinese search engine giant Baidu against its domain register following a cyber attack which occurred in January.
The suit follows the attacks in January which were attributed to a group calling themselves the “Iranian Cyber Army.” Baidu alleges that Register.com gave the hackers access to Baidu’s account when the hackers called the register claiming to be employees of Baidu.
The hackers were then able to change the server number, redirecting users attempting to access the search engine to a site with political messages, according to the BBC.
