 China is struggling to restore several government websites that international hacking group Anonymous says it has attacked. 
 
 Some of the sites were still blocked Thursday, with error messages shown. 
 
 On its twitter account, Anonymous China lists several websites it has hacked belonging to government bureaus in several cities. 
 
 Anonymous activists have defaced websites around the world. They are engaged in political causes, including opposition to the global clampdown on file-sharing sites and defense of the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks. 
 
 In its message left on one of the hacked Chinese sites, the hackers express anger with the Chinese government for restrictions placed on the Internet. 

 Summary: Pastebin is looking for more manpower to monitor the site's content for sensitive information, such as what hackers dump on the site. The hacktivist Anonymous group is calling the move censorship. 
 
 28 year-old Jeroen Vader, the owner of Pastebin, says he plans to hire more staff to help remove "sensitive information" posted to the site. Pastebin, which has over 200,000 members as of this weekend and 17 million unique visitors per month, is the de facto choice for hackers who want to publicly post data they have stolen from their targets. Hacker pastes ranges from something simple, like a list of sites that have been hacked, to very detailed information, including administrator credentials for website servers, credit card numbers, phone numbers, e-mail addresses with corresponding passwords, and even home addresses. 
 
 Pastebin currently relies on an abuse report system, which gets 1,200 warnings a day. It's not keeping up, so it's about to get some more manpower, according to a BBC interview with Vader: 
 
 I am looking to hire some extra people soon to monitor more of the website's content, not just the items that are reported. Hopefully this will increase the speed in which we can remove sensitive information. This will give us more time to look at trending items in detail if they haven't been reported yet. Often articles contain a lot of information, and part of that can be a person's details. This does not mean straight away that it should be removed. Reading all those items, and determining which ones are hurtful, and which ones aren't, requires a lot of time. That's why we rely on the abuse report system at the moment. But there are plans to improve on this. 
 
 This has led to many speculating that Pastebin is specifically targeting the hacktivist groups Anonymous and LulzSec with its new initiative. The hacktivist groups uses Pastebin quite frequently; for example, the Anonymous China hacks this past week used Pastebin multiple times for multiple leaks. 
 
 Even if Anonymous or LulzSec decided to attack Pastebin in retaliation, it wouldn't be a huge blow to the site. Every single day for the last three months, Pastebin has been the target of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Vader says the longest continuous attack, in February, went on for more than 48 hours. He said none of the attacks have been claimed, but he has heard that many hackers like to test their DDOS skills on Pastebin. 
 
 Whether Pastebin will become a target isn't known, but it's clear Anonymous isn't very pleased with what's happening. The YourAnonNews Twitter account summarizes the group's stance quite succinctly: 
 
 Srsly Pastebin, f*** you - @Pastebin to hire staff to tackle hackers' 'sensitive' posts | http://bit.ly/HixoFQ All aboard the Censor Ship! 
 
 For its part, Pastebin is reportedly trying to calm everyone down. Here's what a Pastebin admin reportedly posted on the Anonymous Central Tumblr: 
 
 Hey guys, I'm from Pastebin.com and would like to speak to someone from @anonops via email. Could someone email admin@pastebin.com please? Would like to set some stuff straight, as a lot of news sites are reporting false stories now about how Pastebin is against Anonymous all the sudden. 
 
 So far, all the comments are asking whoever made the post to present his case publicly. After all, it's the Anonymous way.

– Anonymous hackers are boasting that they shut down Chinese government web sites. A number of government sites were still not working today, and marked with error messages as officials scramble to get sites back up, reports AP. A message from Anonymous on one of the hacked sites indicated the Chinese government was being attacked because of imposed Internet restrictions. Another possible target of Anonymous could soon be Pastebin, a favorite site, ironically, of hackers, who share information there. Pastebin's founder is looking for help removing sensitive information from the share site, and Anonymous has blasted the move as censorship, reports ZDNet.
