A well-known Chinese hacker has struck again, hitting a film festival showing a documentary about Uygur separatist Rebiya Kadeer.

Around 3 pm yesterday, Taiwan's Kaohsiung Film Festival webpage was replaced with an image of the People's Liberation Army with China's national anthem playing in the background. The image was later changed to a picture of Kadeer with the Dalai Lama, who recently visited Taiwan.

The hacker defaced the website with the message: "Against Xinjiang separatists, against Tibet separatists and happy 60th birthday to the People's Republic of China! Perhaps oldjun!"
