The Dark Visitor is a blog run by ex-United States Army officer Scott J. Henderson that focuses on the activities of Chinese hackers. The blog was one of the first Western world websites to break the news about the April 2008 organized DDOS attack by mainland Chinese hackers on CNN.com. [1] [2] The assault was called off by the event leaders after news broke of the impending attack.[3]
