China's Cyber Attack on Lausanne Congress?

October 25, 2010
Many of you are following our Senior International Correspondent George Thomas from the Third Lausanne Congress in Cape Town, South Africa this week.

George’s report on the opening of the Christian gathering aired on today’s 700 Club. He mentioned that 200 Chinese Christians have been denied exit from China to attend the Lausanne Congress (we reported this last week as well) and he showed attendees praying for the Chinese church. One delegate even held up an empty chair as he prayed.

After The 700 Club broadcast, some of us in the newsroom received this message from George:

“Just came from a press conference where IT folks say millions of attacks from around the world shut down the Lausanne globalink site.  I asked whether any of these attack came out of China and they said yes.  Highly interesting in light of the ban on Chinese Christians.  Also, the IT describe this as millions of malicious attacks. These attacks were intentional. Now the site is up and running but from day one was not working because of the attacks.”

George also said two Chinese Christians—one from the government-controlled Three Self Patriotic Church and another from an unregistered house church were allowed to travel to Lausanne. That’s still only about 1% of those who actually tried to exit China to attend.

I phoned George and talked to him about this and the cyber attack against the Lausanne Congress.
