Hong Kong, China (February 03, 2009) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — TechSecurityChina.com has officially launched as the first dedicated online English-language publication devoted to covering the technology security sector in China. Good technology security is focused on understanding threats before attackers can exploit flaws on the Internet, and with China playing a more important role in the development of software and Internet tools, it's now more important than ever for I.T. professionals around the world to understand the technology security situation in China.

As part of the ChinaTechNews.com group of Chinese-language and English-language Web media brands focused on technology, TechSecurityChina.com delivers valuable, immediately-usable information about what's going on in China's technology security sector. TechSecurityChina.com places all that daily content in one place, covering the latest news about malware, viruses, spam, phishing, mobile safety, and hacking in China. TechSecurityChina.com also covers hardware such as surveillance devices, servers, and security gadgets, as well as legal issues surrounding new standards, copyright issues, and patent complaints.

"TechSecurityChina.com is a vertical publication aimed at the booming computer and technology security sector in China," says Danny Levinson, publisher of TechSecurityChina.com and the ChinaTechNews.com Web media brands. "We've been running ChinaTechNews.com, along with its Chinese and English digital publications focused on the tech sector, for almost ten years, and we've seen in the last 2 years the tech security sector explode in China as more companies develop products for both the Chinese and global markets."

Global anti-spam powerhouse Spamhaus ranks China second, after the United States, in the number of current known email spam security issues, as of statistics posted February 1, 2009. And on Spamhaus' list of the top ten worst Internet Service Providers around the world, Greater China is home to both the 3rd worst offender on the Cnuninet.com network and the 10th worst offender on the Edu.tw network. Because security exploits and phishing attacks can immediately spread across borders, the need for updated technology security news from China has increased in recent years and TechSecurityChina.com is focused on delivering that information to readers around the world.

According to the latest website monitoring information from the Chinese anti-virus software provider Rising, the number of websites plagued by viruses and phishers recently shows a growth trend and the company's Cloud Security system blocked 6.83 million visits to websites with viruses on January 20, 2009, alone. Security experts from Rising say that at present, e-commerce ticket websites and film download websites are the hardest-hit areas by viruses in China, accounting for 80% of the total websites with viruses and embedded malware. Cross-border e-commerce exploits have grown in recent years, so keeping the global community of I.T. professionals updated on machinations in China via TechSecurityChina.com is a good way to help companies around the world save time and money in preparing for security attacks.

Foreign companies too have been taking security seriously in recent months in China, as Microsoft MSN recently reached a strategic cooperative instant messaging agreement with China-based Kingsoft Duba to jointly provide free security products to the users of Windows Live Messenger. According to China Internet Network Information Center's statistics, there are now about 200 million instant messaging service users in China. In recent years, Microsoft MSN has been affected by trojan viruses and spam advertisement links, making MSN a tool for the spreading of viruses and malware around Asia. Other companies are learning from Microsoft that often global software needs local solutions when working within China's Internet world. TechSecurityChina.com is the key resource for companies to understand these requirements.
