Qihoo is helping the Chinese government harvest iCloud and Microsoft accounts

Because the attack is taking place at the level of the Great Firewall, it seems likely that this is an attack by Chinese authorities meant to harvest usernames and passwords.

If you're using Firefox or Chrome, you'll land on a warning page like the one above, but if you're using Qihoo, the most popular browser in China, you'll be routed straight to the dummy site with no indication that it's not being run by Apple. A similar attack is also being leveled against Microsoft's Login.live.com, the company's gateway for all account logins"

OK China, please use US browsers so the NSA can screw you over instead of the CCP.

The NSA doesn't care if you look at porn and won't send you to jail for it.

Now if someone would make an internet+browser that couldn't be screwed with and it took off (a few sites in TOR doesn't cut it).

Moved to Panda 180 days. Better and lighter than any other AV.
