Editing Internet censorship in China (section)

[[Rupert Murdoch]] famously proclaimed that advances in communications technology posed an "unambiguous threat to totalitarian regimes everywhere"<ref>Yeo, G., & Li, E, X., [http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/Global-Viewpoint/2012/0123/Rise-of-the-dragon-China-isn-t-censoring-the-Internet.-It-s-making-it-work "Rise of the dragon: China isn't censoring the Internet.

However, Nathan Freitas, a fellow at the [[Berkman Center for Internet and Society]] at [[Harvard]] and technical adviser to the [[Tibet Action Institute]], says "There's a growing sense within China that widely used VPN services that were once considered untouchable are now being touched." In June 2015 Jaime Blasco, a security researcher at [[AlienVault]] in [[Silicon Valley]], reported that hackers, possibly with the assistance of the Chinese government, had found ways to circumvent the most popular privacy tools on the Internet: virtual private networks, or VPNs, and Tor. This is done with the aid of a particularly serious vulnerability, known as [[JSONP]], that 15 web services in China never patched. As long as the users are logged into one of China's top web services such as Baidu, [[QQ]], [[Taobao]], [[Sina Corp|Sina]], [[Sohu]], and [[Ctrip]] the hackers can identify them and access their personal information, even if they are using Tor or a VPN. The vulnerability is not new; it was published in a Chinese security and web forum around 2013.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/13/technology/chinese-hackers-circumvent-popular-web-privacy-tools.html "Chinese Hackers Circumvent Popular Web Privacy Tools"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722012734/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/13/technology/chinese-hackers-circumvent-popular-web-privacy-tools.html |date=22 July 2017 }} , Nicole Perlroth, ''New York Times'', 12 June 2015.
