中国强大的防火墙阻止了人们使用各种网络服务，也阻止了中国人民受到威胁。 周三，中国数亿网民试图访问允许访问的网站被重定向到动态互联网技术（DIT）的主页。 一家销售允许中国公民绕过防火墙的技术的公司.
尽管官方媒体称这次故障是一次成功的黑客攻击，但知情人士周三告诉路透社记者，没有发现任何黑客企图，这使得这些消息来源怀疑，在修改防火墙时，是否只是人为错误造成了问题。
这个洞让许多中国公民第一次看到外面的数字世界。 多年来，中国出于各种原因封锁了包括DIT在内的网站，包括据称对其政府结构的威胁和限制对某些主题的评论。
China’s formidable Great Firewall, which blocks access to all sorts of Web services and perceived threats to the country’s people, was the victim of a glitch on Wednesday that saw hundreds of millions of Chinese Web users attempting to access allowed sites being redirected to the home page of Dynamic Internet Technology (DIT), a company that sells technology allowing Chinese citizens to get around the firewall.
Although state-run media outlets have said that the glitch was a successful hack, people apparently familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday that no hacking attempts were identified, making those sources wonder whether simple human error caused the issue when modifications were made to the firewall.
The hole gave many Chinese citizens their first glimpse into the outside digital world. For years, China has been blocking Web sites, including DIT’s, for a myriad reasons, including alleged threats to its government structure and a desire to limit comments on certain topics.
